Paternity determination of the deceased defendant in STR against RFLP analysis

Abstract

This work shows a paternity examination a deceased defendant carried out on the basis of his two sisters DNA profile determination. STR and RFLP analyses were used and their efficiency was compared. The statistical evaluation proved the defendant's paternity with the probability of more than 99,999% (PI>100,000). The restriction analysis appeared considerably more informative than the amplification one, which means seven RFLP markers correspond with the same paternity indices to the 15 STR markers.
