Although DNA fingerprints are useful in individual identification and genetic linkage studies, expensive and time‐consuming laboratory procedures limit their practical application. By mixing blood from individuals within a population, a DNA fingerprint pattern representing the population can be obtained. The pattern was identical to that in which DNA from individuals was mixed, and was not improved by adjusting blood volumes according to hemoglobin levels.
