چکیده

AIM To report on the successful analysis of amplicons obtained with PowerPlex® Fusion 6C System, a highly robust 27-plex genotyping kit developed for human identification laboratories, on the Applied Biosystems® 3500 Genetic Analyzer. METHOD We performed characterization and evaluation studies following the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM) validation guidelines, examining several critical areas of kit performance. We report the results of sensitivity, robustness, heterozygous peak height ratio, precision, concordance, caseworks, and mixture interpretations. We tested sensitivity, using serial dilutions of control DNA. RESULTS The minimum amount of input DNA resulting in a full profile was 125 pg. Inhibition, inducted by urea, showsed a progressively fragmentation of DNA and a full profile was obtained until 1M of inhibitor factor. To test the profile quality, casework samples were extracted with different extraction methods: Chelex®100, QIAmp DNA Micro Kit and Phenol-Chloroform extraction. The results demonstrated that extraction chemistries do not have affect on amplification performance. Concordance check was performed by typing some casework samples and comparing the typing results with those obtained with other available kits. Thus, concordance was expected and supported by the data. CONCLUSION Reliable DNA typing results can be obtained using this new kit, demonstrating its effectiveness and utility in forensic analysis.

Use of Powerplex® 16 in Complex Mixture Analysis of Forensic Samples

We are currently testing the PowerPlex® 16 System in our laboratory in order to use it routinely and change our current management procedure for casework samples, that is to say, the use of two amplifications (Profiler Plus and Profiler) for one sample. So far, our conclusions are that the PowerPlex® 16 System seems to be a good solution for reference samples (database samples or victims/suspec...

Direct amplification of casework bloodstains using the Promega PowerPlex(®) 21 PCR amplification system.

A significant number of evidence items submitted to Forensic Science Service Tasmania (FSST) are blood swabs or bloodstained items. Samples from these items routinely undergo phenol:chloroform:isoamyl alcohol organic extraction and quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) testing prior to PowerPlex(®) 21 amplification. This multi-step process has significant cost and timeframe implications...

Performance characteristics of commercial Y-STR multiplex systems.

In this work, a number of performance checks were carried out to evaluate the efficacy of commercial Y-short tandem repeats (Y-STR) kits for casework applications. The study evaluated the sensitivity, specificity and stability of the Y-STR markers used and the ability to obtain a male profile from postcoital samples taken at various time points after intercourse. All systems performed well with...

PowerPlex Y23 System: A Fast, Sensitive and Reliable Y-STR Multiplex System for Forensic and Population Genetic Purpose

Y-STR genotyping is an excellent tool for the identification of male DNA masked by female DNA, particularly in sexual assault cases where, more often the male and female components cannot be separated completely. Resultant, the female component could exist prominently even in the male component after separation. When the "male DNA sample mixed with female DNA” undergoes PCR by using autosomal S...
