In medicolegal samples DNA is often broken into fragments. In many cases, only the amplification of short tandem repeated DNA stretches (STRs), which are located in noncoding regions, allows DNA typing of such degraded materials. To demonstrate the high diversity of biological materials which forensic biologists have to deal with, and to outline the success rates and limits of the method, we describe five cases (minute amount of tissue on barrel, tissue in decay, tumor tissue, sperm after multiple rape, stored urine samples) in which forensic DNA typing was successfully performed by use of the short tandem repeats HUMDHFRP2, HUMD8S306, HUMCD4, HUMF13A1, HUMTHOl, HUMVWA, and HUMFES*.

Typing of DNA from ancient or otherwise highly degraded material, e.g. formalin fixed tissues, can be difficult, time consuming and costly. Very often, genetic typing is not possible at all.

Length variations in simple sequence tandem repeats are being given increased attention in plant genetics. Some short tandem repeats (STRs) from a few plant species, mainly those at the dinucleotide level, have been demonstrated to show polymorphisms and Mendelian inheritance. In the study reported
