Lleonart, E. Riego, M. V. Saínz de la Pena, K. Bacallao, F. Amaro, M. Santiesteban, M. Blanco, H. Currenti, A. Puentes, F. Rolo, L. Herrera, J. de la Fuente] We report the positive identification of several members of the guerrillas led by Ernesto "Che” Guevara on the 1960 s in Bolivia by means of DNA fingerprinting. Successful DNA typing of both short tandem repeat loci and the hypervariable region of the human mitochondrial DNA was achieved after extracting total DNA from bones obtained from two burial sites. Given the size of the Cuban database for the STR allele frequencies, a conservative approach was followed to estimate the statistical significance of the genetic evidence. The estimated probabilities of paternity for the two cases in which the paternity logic was applied were higher than 99%. One case was analyzed using mitochondrial DNA and could not be excluded from the identity proposed by the forensic anthropology team. A fourth case was identified by exclusion, on the basis of the positive identification of the other remains, the historical and other anthropological evidence.
