From: Insertion-deletion polymorphisms (indels) as genetic markers in natural populations
(a) Genotyping of a 4-bp indel locus in wolves showing (upper panel) a homozygote for the longer allele, (mid panel) a heterozygote and (lower panel) a homozygote for the shorter allele. (b) Multiplex amplification and simultaneous genotyping in a single capillary of five indel markers in one individual heterozygous for all these markers. The long and short alleles of marker 1–5 are labelled. All markers show some form of extra fragments that likely represent PCR artefacts. These may either be shorter (marker 2) or longer (marker 3–5) than the amplified allele, alternatively both shorter and longer (marker 1).
