Patent ID: 6844152

Claim:
A method of analyzing micro-satellite loci, comprising steps of: a) providing primers for co-amplifying a set of at least three microsatellite loci of human genomic DNA, comprising at least one mono-nucleotide repeat locus and at least two tetra-nucleotide repeat loci, wherein the at least one mononucleotide repeat locus comprises MONO-15 and wherein the at least two tetra-nucleotide repeat loci arc selected from the group consisting of FGA, D1S518, D1S547, D1S1677, D2S1790, D3S2432, D5S818, D5S2849, D6S1053, D7S3046, D7S1808, D7S3070, D8S1179, D9S2169, D10S1426, D10S2470, D2S391, D17S1294, D17S1299, and D18S51; b) co-amplifying the set of at least three microsatellite loci from at least one sample of genomic DNA in a multiplex amplification reaction, using the primers, thereby producing amplified DNA fragments; and c) determining the size of the amplified DNA fragments.
