Abstract
The present invention relates generally to a method of characterizing a sample of genomic DNA and to nucleotide sequences employed in the method as well as kits comprising these. In particular the invention involves the use of primers which selectively prime specific type(s) of internal repeat unit in a tandemly repeated region. The method of the invention is particularly useful in forensic or paternity studies and provides individual sample codes suitable for computerized storage on, and retrieval from, a database.
