Method and test kit for demonstrating genetic identity

A method for demonstrating genetic identity, genetic diversity, genomic variations, polymorphisms, allelic variation or co-dominant scoring within a defined population pool, comprising the steps of:

• a) allowing unlabeled, single-stranded, sample DNA representing total DNA of a sample to hybridize with one or more different sets of oligonucleotide sequences, each oligonucleotide sequence representing a full or an empty integration site of at least one mobile element (ME) and each oligonucleotide sequence further being attached to a defined identifiable location on a solid support;
• b) providing a hybridization product with a recordable label, said label allowing hybridization pattern to be recorded and thereby the presence or absence of a full or an empty integration site of at least one mobile element (ME) to be scored.

A test kit for demonstrating genetic identity, genetic diversity, genomic variations, polymorphisms, allelic variation or co-dominant scoring in a population pool, said test kit further comprising more than one set of single-stranded oligonucleotide sequences, each oligonucleotide sequence representing a junction in at least one full or one corresponding empty integration site, the oligonucleotide sequence representing junction in a full integration site further comprising a first and a second distinct sequence region, the first distinct sequence region being a flanking region of a mobile element (ME) and the second distinct sequence region being a terminal end of said mobile element (ME) and a oligonucleotide sequence representing the corresponding empty integration site further comprising two flanking regions surrounding said mobile element (ME).
