Penta E polymorphisms for human identification

A method comprising:

• contacting a first primer to a nucleic acid sample to be analyzed;
• contacting a second primer to the nucleic acid sample;
• and
• subjecting the nucleic acid sample, the first primer, and the second primer to an amplification reaction, and thereby forming an amplification product,
• wherein the first primer, the second primer, or both the first and second primers are labeled with a non-nucleic-acid label,
• wherein the first primer and second primer are between 10 and 100 nucleotides in length,
• wherein the first primer encompasses a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:5, SEQ ID NO:6, SEQ ID NO:7, SEQ ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO:9, ACAGGTGCG, CCAGGTGTG, and ACAGGTGTG, and
• wherein the amplification product comprises an adenosine at position 14 from the 5′ end of SEQ ID NO:1, a thymidine at position 21 from the 5′ end of SEQ ID NO:2 or both an adenine at position 14 and a thymidine at position 21 from the 5′ end of SEQ ID NO:3.
