  • Title: Sexing of human and other primate DNA.
    Author: Wilson JF, Erlandsson R.
    Journal: Biol Chem; 1998 Oct; 379(10):1287-8. PubMed ID: 9820590.
    Abstract:
    We present a rapid and simple method for the sexing of human and other primate DNA. Homologous introns from the X- and Y-linked zinc finger protein genes (ZFX and ZFY) are PCR amplified with one primer pair. An Alu element insertion in the ZFX intron results in a size difference in the amplicons which is resolved by agarose gel electrophoresis.
