ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a product and process for characterizing the human genome utilizing polymorphic DNA fragments containing (dC-dA).sub.n .multidot.(dG-dT).sub.n. The process comprises identifying polymorphic DNA fragments containing the above tandem repeat sequence followed by characterizing admixtures of genomic material by amplification of fragments containing the tandem repeat sequence using substantially unique and non-polymorphic primer sequences and appropriate separation of the so amplified fragments.
