Abstract

During 1993, significant advances have been achieved in applications of DNA analysis to forensic science, disease assessment, and animal/plant identification. These advances include the development of simple and high sample-throughput techniques for highly informative personal identification, rapid screening for pathogens and the development of polymorphic genetic markers in plants and animals.
