[Nonisotope variant of genomic fingerprinting based on the phage M13 DNA in kinship studies in man].

DNA "fingerprinting" with the 32P-labeled or biotinylated M13 phage DNA was used in man parentage studies. It was shown that the non-isotopic method, having sensitivity, similar to that of isotopic one, gave higher level of band resolution. The method is safe and requires 3-5 h to visualize the bands.
