title: Analysis of variable number of tandem repeats of human genome D1S80 locus using capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detector.
abstract: The conventional method of identifying individuals by DNA in the field of forensic medicine is slab gel electrophoresis, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and nonquantitative. Accordingly, the use of capillary electrophoresis with a laser-induced fluorescence detector (CE-LIF), human genome D1S80 locus, a DNA marker which has a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) on chromosome 1, was examined to improve DNA analysis for identification. Using an internal standard, fragment size of VNTR was accurately and rapidly determined.
