The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method was used to identify the species of forensic biological samples. Neither genomic DNA sequence nor two polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cycle programs is required. Only single 10-nt primer and one PCR program are used. We demonstrated that this method

β¦ Synopsis
Investigation of genomic polymorphisms detected by a minisatellite named tentatively "Myo", which is expected to correspond to the minisatellite in human myoglobin gene of Jeffreys et al., gives distinct and different aspects of chorionic villus and the decidual membrane in the same placenta. The chorionic villus, which is regarded as the extraembryonal tissue, represents the essential embryonal DNA fingerprint pattern, while the decidual membrane reveals the maternal one. A comparison between the DNA fingerprints from the chorion villus and from the blood sample of the suspected father provides the possibility of setting a paternity determination which can be achieved during the first trimester of a pregnancy.

The extraordinary discrimination inherent in the technique of DNA profiling has major implications for foresnic science and the application of justice. Evaluation of such evidence requires some understanding of its molecular basis, its reliability and how the odds are affected by the way in which ge
