CHARACTERIZATION AND ANALYSIS OF POLYMORPHIC VNTR LOCI

摘要

This invention pertains to characterization of the YNZ32 VNTR locus and to methods for detecting polymorphisms at a highly polymorphic VNTR locus. Polymorphisms are detected by VNTR locus amplification and enzymatic digestion of the amplification products. Variations observed in restriction maps of the fragments are then used to assess the polymorphisms. Primers for VNTR amplification of the YNZ32 locus are described.
