  • Primers and methods for simultaneous amplification of multiple markers for DNA fingerprinting
    Patent number: 5576180
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a DNA amplification primer pair for the simultaneous amplification of multiple highly polymorphic genomic loci, which comprises R14B264/Q560mak (SEQ ID NO:1/SEQ ID NO:2). A method for the DNA fingerprinting identification of genetically related or unrelated individuals, which comprises the steps of: a) collecting genomic DNA sample of the individuals; b) performing DNA amplification of the DNA samples of step a) using the primer pair R14B264/Q560mak (SEQ ID NO:1/SEQ ID NO:2); and c) separating the amplified DNA segments of step b); whereby three markers of the genomic DNA of different size are amplified and serve as DNA fingerprinting of the individuals.
