Paternity Testing by Oligonucleotide DNA Fingerprinting: A Multi-Center Study Proving Reliability and Validity

  • Conference paper
Advances in Forensic Haemogenetics

Abstract

While Jeffreys and co-workers (1) demonstrated in an extensive study of 1702 paternity cases that paternity testing with multi-locus (ML) probes 33.6 and 33.15 is effective and reliable, this technique nevertheless remained an issue of controversial debate.
