The Scientific Basis of DNA Technology

چکیده
former NSW policeman, Harry Blackburn, was cleared of multiple sex charges on the 11 October 1989, and a Victorian was convicted of rape a week earlier. In both cases DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) profiling was used. DNA profiling illustrates the most powerful concept in forensic science, the power to eliminate a suspect. DNA profiling has a very high discrimination power and is therefore very powerful in elimination. Its discrimination power is so high that it also has a major use in identification. These two aspects must be kept distinct.

Synthesis, Characterization, DNA Binding and Nuclease Activity of Cobalt(II) Complexes of Isonicotinoyl Hydrazones
Cobalt(II) complexes of isonicotinoyl hydrazones of two series of ligands have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moment, mass, IR, UV spectral data. Electrochemical behavior of ligands and complexes has been investigated by using cyclic voltammetry. Cyclic voltammetric studies reveal that the oxidation/reduct...
متن کاملDNA Methylation and Its Role in the Development of Leukemia
Epigenetic changes play an essential role in cancer pathogenesis. It has been established by next-generation sequencing that more than 50% of the human cancers carry mutations in mechanisms involved in the organization of the chromatin and epigenetic regulations. DNA methylation is among the most common epigenetic changes in leukemia. In contrast to DNA mutations which are passively inherited f...

متن کاملForecasting Gold Price Changes: Application of an Equipped Artificial Neural Network
The forecast of fluctuations and prices is the major concern in financial markets. Thus, developing an accurate and robust forecasting decision model is critically favorable to the investors. As gold has shown a special capability to smooth inflation fluctuations, governors use gold as a price controlling lever. Thus, more information about future gold price trends will help to make the firm de...
متن کاملTracing the Pig and Cattle Origin in Processed Food and Feed Products Targeting Mitochondrial 12S rRNA Gene
Background: Species identification in commercially processed food and feed products is one of the important issues. This study was conducted to develop a genetic method for the detection of pig and cattle species in processed food and feed products using newly designed species-specific primers targeting mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene fragments. Methods: Two sets of specific primers were designed ...
