Description / Table of Contents:
DNA fingerprinting is a new branch in molecular genetics based on the use of specific repetitive DNA sequences. What sets it apart from the other recent developments in biological research is its tremendous impact on science, law and politics. Forensic applications ensure a high public profile for this technology but represent only the tip of the iceberg: DNA typing methods are steadily diffusing into an ever wider set of applications and research fields, ranging from medicine to conversation biology. This book attempts to survey the role of DNA typing methods in various research fields. In doing so not only biological aspects of the highly variable repetitive DNA sequences are discussed but also techniques involved and a broad range of applications. Besides reporting on the state of the art in the various fields, future prospectives are discussed.
