Abstract

DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis has been used more and more in forensic Science on individual identification and paternity test. But the RFLP analysis needs relatively large quantity of undegraded DNA (>300ng for mutilocus probe) and the manupulation is complicated(Jeffreys 1985, 李 伯 龄 1991). In actual cases, the samples to be detected usually contain too little high molecular DNA to conduct RFLP analysis. The development of in vitro DNA amplification provides a new way to solve this Problem. The sequences flanked the target VNTR locus are chosen as primers, and the use of polymerase Chain reaction to amplify the VNTR can result in different length DNA fragment. The polymorphism is called amplified fragment length polymorphism(Amp—FLP)(Bugoele 1991).
