IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO IDENTIFICATION

摘要

DNA profiling provides an extremely useful tool in a wide variety of applications including anthropological studies, paternity investigations and in consideration of forensic evidence. The present invention provides improved primers, primer pairs and loci selections for giving increased discriminating power in DNA profiling techniques making use of short tandem repeats (STR) or micro satellite loci. A primer pair mixture including sequences:pair a) TGC AGA TCT TGG GAC TTC TC AAA AAG AGT GTG GGC AAC TG pair b) CCA GTG GAT TTG GAA ACA GA ACC TAG CAT GGT ACC TGC AG pair c) ACT GCA GTC CAA TCT GGG T ATG AAA TCA ACA GAG GCT TG pair d) GCA ACA TTA GGT ACA TAC AAG AAA ATA ATC AGG GTG CTG TGT pair e) TAC ATC CAA ATT AGG TAG GTA GAC AA TGT TGA GAC ACA GCA GTA GCA T pair f) CTG TCT CAG ACC ATA CCT AAA TCT CT TCT TAG TGG GGA AGG GAT CCT AGT TAT CAC pair g) GTG GGC TGA AAA GCT CCC GAT TAT GTG ATT CCC ATT GGC CTG TTC CTC is provided.
