Probe and method for STR-genotyping

The present invention relates to the field of DNA-fingerprinting, e.g. in a forensic setting. More specifically, the present invention discloses a method to genotype polymorphisms such as short tandem repeats, relying on the fluorescein-quenching properties of guanine. As such, the degree of complementary between an amplified DNA sample and a specifically designed probe, can be assessed by measuring fluorescence intensity of the fluorophore attached to the probe upon hybridization or melting. The probes and method of the present invention are well-suited to be used in a portable, less- expensive DNA analysis device and can be applied in other fields than forensics, like food fraud, diagnostics and many others.
