We have recognized a number of problems, inherent in the STR-PCR technology, which may affect the eligibility of markers for chimerism testing and the accuracy of quantitative analysis. These are as ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA and RNA. PCR involves the enzymatic amplification of ...

Quick and accurate processing of buccal or blood samples gathered via swab and paper substrates is vital to the efficient operation of forensic laboratories. The GlobalFiler ® Express Kit* is an STR ...

The reproducibility of short tandem repeat (STR) amplification of aDNA extracts is limited by means of formation of artifacts during PCR. One of these artifacts, the so called allelic-dropout (failure ...

Human sample identification is an essential element of many research projects employing human cells, tissues, or mixtures. Identification may be required to track and confirm sample provenance for ...
