Frequency histograms of two markers having different quality of allele sizes. Both markers were typed on 642 individuals using the ABI 373A and accompanying Genescan/Genotyper software. Marker D10S535 has a very clear separation of alleles, while marker D13S1325 has poor separation between most alleles.
