Str-typing of Nuclear Dna from Human Fecal Matter
نویسنده
چکیده
Human fecal matter is routinely encountered in forensic casework—identifying the source of this material could link a suspect or victim to a crime scene. Previous methods used to identify the source of the fecal matter have primarily involved microscopic comparisons. While these methods can be useful, two sources of fecal matter are required, and typically the analysis cannot individualize the sample. In addition, the results cannot be compared to that of other biological material.

STR-typing of human DNA from human fecal matter using the QIAGEN QIAamp stool mini kit.
The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the QIAGEN QIAamp Stool Mini Kit against a standard phenolchloroform procedure for the extraction, quantitation, and STR-typing of human nuclear DNA from human feces. Stools from six subjects were sampled by swabbing and excision. Samples extracted with the QIAamp kit gave a wide range of DNA yields, whereas those extracted by the or...

متن کاملIdentification of Human Decomposed Remains Using the STR Systems: Effect on Typing Results
This report covers our starting experience on the DNA identification of the post-mortem remains recovered from the battlefields, and illustrates some effects on typing results when STR systems are used for DNA typing of decomposed human remains. This study is primarily concerned with the amplification of degraded DNA samples. Reports of identification by family studies will be presented elsewhere.

We describe the successful identification of the remains of a saponified body found in a dam by typing of nuclear DNA. Whereas DNA extracted from soft tissues yielded negative PCR results, DNA extracted from the bone by a slightly modified Qiagen procedure allowed the typing of sex (AMG locus) and of 10 additional STR loci. An identity document was found belonging to a man missing for 3 years a...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of antiviral protein from silkworm fecal matter
Antiviral proteins (AVP), present in silkworm fecal matter, show activity against nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) in vitro and in vivo. The extract of silkworm fecal matter prepared in phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.5 was subjected to 50% solid ammonium sulfate precipitation to enrich AVP, then which was dialyzed. The dialysate was applied to the column containing silica gel-G, the column e...
