Individual-specific ‘fingerprints’ of human DNA

Explore this paper's citation graph

Summary

It is shown that other variant (core)n probes can detect additional sets of hypervariable minisatellites to produce somatically stable DNA ‘fingerprints’ which are completely specific to an individual (or to his or her identical twin) and can be applied directly to problems of human identification, including parenthood testing.
