Abstract
A computerised system has been used to store DNA profiles from 3 hypervariable loci. This initial survey illustrates that band matching is only possible after analysis of the errors associated with electrophoretic systems. A number of databases have been constructed with the three probes investigated and two methods of frequency determination, ‘binning’ and ‘sliding window’ fitting, have been compared.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
