✦ Synopsis
This paper describes a collaborative exercise intended to demonstrate whether uniformity of DNA profiling results could be achieved between European laboratories using short tandem repeat (STR) loci. Two different STRs were chosen -HUMTHOI and the AT-rich HUMACTBPZ (SE33). The former locus has only five common alleles, whereas the latter is complex and has at least 30 alleles. Laboratories were asked to test seven blood stains and * Corresponding author.
