The current standard methodology in forensic DNA typing relies on amplification of short tandem repeat (STR) markers by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and allele sizes (i.e., length-based) ...
Roche Applied Science's LINEAR ARRAY Mitochondrial DNA HVI/HVII Region-Sequence Typing Kit rapidly analyzes forensic samples with the greatest evidentiary value, while conserving sample DNA. The kit ...
A new form of PCR has been used to improve the library preparation for forensic DNA typing from difficult samples like touch evidence and human remains. Typically, DNA sequencing and analysis is ...
The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Crime Laboratory in Washington, D.C., will soon begin to use DNA testing methods regularly. Scientists at the FBI's Forensic Science Research and Training Center ...
Every ten minutes, someone passes away from a blood disorder. That's 148 people a day. But there's a way to prevent many of these deaths—through a bone marrow transplant. DNA matching has the power to ...
