Abstract

The present invention is related to the identification of cloned DNA sequences that reveal individual multiallele loci. The loci are used in the process of the present invention to provide convenient and accurate genetic identification. A large number of clones that recognize VNTR loci have been isolated from a cosmid library and characterized.
