PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods for identifying and analyzing intermediate tandem repeat DNA markers. SOLUTION: The method of detecting a target intermediate tandem repeat DNA sequence having a low incidence of stutter artifacts comprising the steps of: (a) providing a sample of DNA having at least one target intermediate tandem repeat sequence, wherein the target intermediate tandem repeat sequence is a region of the DNA containing at least one repeat unit consisting of a sequence of five, six, or seven base pairs repeated in tandem at least twice; and (b) detecting the target intermediate tandem repeat sequence in the sample of DNA wherein the average stutter artifact of less than 2.4% is observed.
