title: [Possibilities for individual identification of hair roots using DNA probes].
abstract: High-molecular weight DNA was extracted from hair roots. The obtained DNA was digested with Hae III and Msp I and transferred to nylon membranes by Southern blotting. The possibility of applying a probe for sex determination (pHY2.1) a "single-locus"-probe (YNH24) as well as a "multi-locus"-probe (M13) was examinated as a function of the amount of hair being supplied. In the laboratory experiment a single hair root was enough for a sex determination or individual identification. Because of methodical difficulties in practice this kind of profiling should only be done with several hair roots.
