Multiplex amplification of short tandem repeat loci
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A kit for simultaneously analyzing a set of loci of genomic DNA, comprising oligonucleotide primers for co-amplifying a set of loci of the genomic DNA to be analyzed, wherein the primers are in one or more containers, wherein the primers are designed to co-amplify a set of at least sixteen loci which can be co-amplified, comprisingD3S1358, HUMTH01, D21S11, D18S51, G475, Amelogenin, HUMvWFA31, D8S1179, HUMTPOX, HUMFIBRA, D5S818, D7S820, D13S317, D16S539, HUMCSF1PO, and S159.
