Developmental validation of a forensic rapid DNA-STR kit: Expressmarker 16.
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA-STR analysis is widely used in the forensic science field and has important requirements on the analysis time to obtain faster inspections. The developed forensic STR kit, referred to as Expressmarker 16 (EX16), could shorten the amplification time to a minimum of 35min. It enables 16 STR loci to be co-detected, including 13 CODIS loci, D2S1338, D6S1043 and Amelogenin loci. The kit is validated by a series of tests formed by DNA mixtures, stutter ratios, optimized PCR protocols based on annealing temperature research, species specificities, inhibitors, sensitivity, and parallel tests according to FBI QAS (2009/2011) (QAS, 2009; SWGDAM, 2010). The results demonstrated that EX16 was a useful tool for rapid criminal investigation.

DNA typing of degraded DNA samples can be a challenging task when using the current commercially available multiplex short tandem repeat (STR) analysis kits. However, the ability to type degraded DNA specimens improves by redesigning current STR marker amplicons such that smaller sized polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products are generated. In an effort to increase the amount of information der...
