PCR Machine Multiplex PCR Sensitivities to levels less






















- Slides: 22
PCR Machine
Multiplex PCR • Sensitivities to levels less than 1 ng of DNA • Over 10 Markers Can Be Copied at Once • Ability to Handle Mixtures and Degraded Samples • Different Fluorescent Dyes Used to Distinguish STR Alleles with Overlapping Size Ranges
How PCR works
ABI PRISM® 310 Genetic Analyzer Automated gel pouring Automated sample injection Capillary electrophoresis with multi-color detection capabilities

DNA Examinations In the Absence of Mother or Father’s Biological Sample A. B. Mt-DNA Analysis Y-Chromosome DNA Analysis
Human Genome 23 Pairs of Chromosomes + mt. DNA Located in cell nucleus http: //www. ncbi. nlm. nih. gov/genome/guide/ Autosomes 2 copies per cell Located in mitochondria (multiple copies in cell cytoplasm) mt. DNA 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 X Nuclear DNA 3. 2 billion bp Y Sexchromosomes 16, 569 bp Mitochondrial DNA 100 s of copies per cell
*Minimal haplotype loci names are hyperlinked to STR fact sheets
Lineage Markers Autosomal (passed on in part, from all ancestors) Y-Chromosome (passed on complete, but only by sons) Mitochondrial (passed on complete, but only by daughters)
Tracing paternal lineage
Y Chromosome STR Marker Study For Tracing Paternal Lineages Forensically Important Markers: DYS 389 (I and II), DYS 390, DYS 19, DYS 385, DYS 391, DYS 392

Mitochondrial DNA (mt. DNA)
Mitochondrial DNA (mt. DNA) Cons • Single-cell sensitivity because each cell contains ~1000 mitochondria = very high contamination risk! • Heteroplasmy - more than one mt. DNA type manifesting in different tissues in the same individual • Lower power of discrimination - maternal relatives all share the same mt. DNA
