title: Gender identification by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
abstract: A rapid, simple, and reliable gender determination of human DNA samples was successfully obtained using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Detection sensitivity reached 0.01 ng or less for DNA samples.
