Abstract

The minisatellite locus D1S80 is a variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) locus which is commonly typed for forensic and paternity testing in a large number of laboratories all over the world. Here we describe three new alleles at the D1S80 locus; one small allele composed of 13 units of the repeated 16 mer, a further large allele with approximately 45 repeat units which we found two times in our population sample and another large allele with approximately 50 repeats.
