This invention provides methods of assigning an individual to a population of origin based on statistical analyses of the individual's genotype and the genetic architecture of the underlying populations from which the individual may have originated.

Method for assigning an individual to a population of origin based on multi-locus genotypes

The present disclosure relates to methods of DNA amplification with a first primer that has a random sequence of nucleotides at its 3&prime; end and a generic sequence 5&prime; of the random nucleotides, as well as a second primer with the generic sequence of the first primer. The disclosure further relates to a method of precipitating DNA on a solid medium to improve DNA amplification. In a preferred embodiment, the presently disclosed methods are used for high-throughput genotyping of DNA samples, such as bloodstains or trace amounts of DNA.
