Disclosed are methods for testing biological samples containing genomic nucleic acids obtained from an organism having a genome, such as a human genome. It is often desirable to analyze a DNA sample or more than one, different DNA samples, to determine whether the sample comes from one individual or two individuals. The present method requires very low amounts of DNA and can use partial sequences of DNA fragments. Partial sequences are analyzed for the presence of polymorphisms (e.g. SNP's) that can be mapped to a reference SNP map. The distance between similar SNPS, which are genetically linked, can be used to statistically determine a likelihood of identity of individuality in a sample. |
