The comparisons, which took almost two years to complete, were based on three loci of the human genome: MCT 118 (chromosome 1), Apo B (chromosome 2) and YNZ 22 (chromosome 17). The results of the molecular biology tests indicate the accuracy of determinations using this set of highly polymorphic loci of human genomic DNA. ER -
