Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTR) PCR (CAT#: STEM-MB-0221-WXH)

Introduction

A variable number tandem repeat (or VNTR) is a location in a genome where a short nucleotide sequence is organized as a tandem repeat. These can be found on many chromosomes, and often show variations in length (number of repeats) among individuals. Each variant acts as an inherited allele, allowing them to be used for personal or parental identification. Their analysis is useful in genetics and biology research, forensics, and DNA fingerprinting.




Applications

Study in genetics and biology research, forensics, and DNA fingerprinting.

Procedure

General procedure:
1. Denaturation
2. Annealing
3. Extension
