Preface
Although DNA fingerprinting is a very young branch of molecular
genetics, being barely six years old, its recent impact on science,
law and politics has been dramatic. The application of DNA finger-
printing to forensic and legal medicine has guaranteed a high public
profile for this technology, and indeed, scarcely a week goes by with-
out the press reporting yet another crime successfully solved by molec-
ular genetics. Less spectacularly, but equally importantly, DNA typing
methods are steadily diffusing into an ever wider set of applications
and research fields, ranging from medicine through to conservation
biology.
To date, two DNA fingerprinting workshops have been held in the
UK, one in 1988 organised by Terry Burke at the University of
Leicester, and the second in 1989 at the University of Nottingham,
co-ordinated by David Parkin. In parallel with these workshops, which
have provided an important focus for researchers, Bill Amos and
Josephine Pemberton in Cambridge have established an informal
newsletter "Fingerprint News" which is playing a major role as a
forum for DNA fingerprinters. By 1989, it was clear that the field had
broadened sufficiently to warrant a full international meeting. As a
result, Gaudenz Dolf took on the task of organising the first, of what I
hope will be many, International Symposium of DNA Fingerprinting
held at Bern during Ist-3rd October 1990. The success of the meeting
can be judged from the remarkable attendance, with 270 delegates
from no less than 30 countries. This volume provides a compilation of
some of the many presentations given at the symposium
We have tried to organise the papers according to subject area,
though in many cases the boundaries are blurred and the classification
of some papers is rather arbitrary. Contributors in the first section
discuss the types of DNA typing systems currently available, as well as
the molecular genetics of the highly variable loci which underpin DNA
fingerprinting and some of their medical applications. In the next
section, the population genetics and evolutionary biology of hypervari-
able DNA are explored. Next, contributors interested in animal and
plant DNA typing describe some of the roles that DNA fingerprinting
is playing in analysing the population genetics and mating systems of
natural populations and in developing DNA markers to assist animal
and plant breeders. Finally, the large scale implementation of DNA
x
typing systems is discussed, particularly in the context of forensic and
legal medicine.
We trust this volume will provide a useful broad survey of current
research into DNA fingerprinting as we enter the 1990s.

Summary
Since 1985, DNA typing systems have played an increasingly important role in many aspects
of human genetics, most notably in forensic and legal medicine. This article reviews the
development of multilocus and single locus minisatellite DNA probes, and more recently the
use of peR to amplify hypervariable DNA loci, as well as discussing the biological properties
of the unstable regions of DNA which form the basis of almost all DNA fingerprinting
systems.
Introduction
In early 1985, we described the first development of multilocus DNA
fingerprints and speculated that these individual-specific DNA patterns
might provide a powerful method for individual identification and
paternity testing (Jeffreys et al., 1985b). At the time, we suspected that
the implementation of these applications would be protracted, and that
major legal problems would be encountered as DNA evidence pro-
ceeded from the research laboratory to the court room. Subsequent
history showed that we were unduly pessimistic. By April 1985 the first
case, involving a U.K. immigration dispute, had been satisfactorily
resolved by DNA fingerprinting (Jeffreys et al., 1985a). Shortly there-
after, DNA evidence in a paternity dispute was admitted in a U.K. civil
court. DNA typing in criminal investigations saw its debut in October
1986 with the Enderby murder case, an investigation which led to the
first instance of the release of a prime suspect proved innocent by DNA
evidence (Gill and Werrett, 1987; Wong et al., 1987; see Wambaugh,
1989). By 1987, DNA typing results had been admitted in evidence in
criminal courts in the U.K. and U.S.A., and in 1988 the U.K. Home
Office and Foreign and Commonwealth Office had ratified the use of
DNA fingerprinting for the resolution of immigration disputes which
hinge upon disputed family relationships (Home Office, 1988). 1989 saw
the first major attack, in the U.S.A., on the procedural and scientific
