Abstract
DNA profiling has been automated by the fluorescent tagging of amplified variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci. This was achieved by the use of fluorescently labeled primers in the amplification of 10 ng of genomic DNA, coupled with laser detection of the products during electrophoresis. The PCR products are sized by co-electrophoresing a standard size ladder mixed with every sample, thereby eliminating errors in size estimation caused by lane-to-lane differences in migration rate. This increases the precision of VNTR characterization and enables alleles that differ by a single 15-bp repeat to be resolved. The system is capable of high throughput: Twenty-four samples are electrophoresed and analyzed within 6 hr. Also, because four different dyes are available, three different loci can be simultaneously characterized with the fourth dye used for the internal standard. Approximately 100 unrelated British caucasians were analyzed at the loci D1S80, D17S5, and ApoB. The probabilities of two unrelated individuals matching by chance (pM) at these three loci were determined to be 0.065, 0.040, and 0.069, respectively, with a combined pM of 1.8 x 10(-4).
