  • Simple and complex tandem repeats with DNA typing method
    Patent number: 5994064
    Abstract: The present invention describes a process of DNA typing performed on human specimens utilizing a specific multiplex reaction which amplifies GATA short tandem repeats in the loci D18S535, D22S683, and D9S302 for the purpose of producing STR genotypes which may be used for identification purposes. This multiplex is an improvement over existing multiplex amplifications for STR typing in that it possesses an extremely high individualization potential for forensic studies and power of exclusion for parentage testing.
