TL;DR: The analysis of D1S80 and similar VNTR loci by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AMP-FLP) may prove useful as models for population genetic issues for VN TR loci analyzed by RFLP typing via Southern blotting.

TL;DR: A conservative statistical method was developed based on arbitrarily defined fixed bins that permits classification of continuous allelic data, provides for a simple and portable data-base system, and is unlikely to underestimate the frequency of occurrence of a set of alleles.

TL;DR: The pattern of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) detected by this test is identical to that observed with DNA prepared from blood of the male sexual partner, therefore, RFLP analysis can be used to exclude or to determine the probable identity of an assailant in rape cases.

TL;DR: The allele frequency distribution of two highly polymorphic DNA sequences has been determined in three ethnic groups from the New York metropolitan area and can be used as the basis for the utilization of DNA RFLP for the purpose of identity, such as paternity determinations or the analysis of forensic material.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that DNA exposed to a variety of environmental insults yields reliable PM typing results and can be used in forensic analyses and paternity tests to estimate the frequency of a multiple locus DNA profile in various general United States populations.
