By analyzing the allelic frequencies at the D1S80 locus in 43 human populations, we show that the locus is polymorphic globally and that it can be used to discriminate between major racial groups and subpopulations through phylogenetic analysis. Although the use of informative multiple loci generall

We have analyzed the allele frequency distribution at the highly polymorphic variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) locus D1S80 (pMCT118) in seven ethnic populations (namely, New Guinea Highlanders of Papua New Guinea, Dogrib Indians of Canada, Pehuenche Indians of Chile, American and Western Samoa
## Abstract We have demonstrated in a systematic manner that the capillary electrophoresis (CE) method of genotyping the human D1S80 locus is an effective replacement for the commonly used gel electrophoresis method. The CE method is fast, with a total run time of less than 22 min per sample. Separ
