Minisatellite DNA tandem repeats {variable-number tandem repeat} (VNTR) between restriction sites {hypervariable loci} can vary in repeat length and repeat number and are useful for DNA fingerprinting. Forensics, cell cultures, and family relationship tracing can identify individuals. Large-enough polymorphism sets can provide high probabilities that identifications are unique. Myoglobin-gene introns, mitochondrial DNA, and class II HLA gene DQalpha test for polymorphisms in forensics.
