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.
