Abstract
In this paper, we report the coexistence of cross hybridization of the 33.6 and 33.15 human minisatellite probes to female specific DNA frag ments in birds of prey. Besides detecting highly informative polymorph ic autosomal loci (the mean probability of two unrelated individuals s haring a band was estimated to be 0.28 for probe 33.6 and 0.37 for pro be 33.15), each probe allowed the detection of a DNA fragment present only in the DNA profiles obtained from female peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) and transmitted to female offspring only.
