title: Molecular analysis of paternity.
abstract: The unit covers Variable Numbers of Tandem Repeats (VNTR) based paternity analysis as well as the newer methods relying on PCR to analyze sequence-specific polymorphisms and microsatellite regions. The discussion of data analysis and probability calculations has been expanded to address a number of special circumstances, such as the lack of sample from an alleged father, motherless cases, and more.
