ABSTRACT: Improved conditions for non-radioisotopic DNA fingerprinting analysis using digoxigenin M 13 probe were developed. Highly resolved banding patterns were obtained with specific-primed labelling of M13 DNA and Photogene membrane as a blotting medium under low stringency of hybridization conditions and post-hybridization washes. DNA fingerprinting of one family with 4 children and a pair of identical twins were performed and the signals were detected by both colourimetric and chemiluminescent detection systems. Readable pattern was generated with as little as 0.5 g of human genomic DNA This non-radioisotopic DNA fingerprinting was simple, reliable and should be applicable. as an alternative to the isotopic method.
