Using long ssDNA polynucleotides to amplify STRs loci in degraded DNA samples. [PDF]
Obtaining informative short tandem repeat (STR) profiles from degraded DNA samples is a challenging task usually undermined by locus or allele dropouts and peak-high imbalances observed in capillary electrophoresis (CE) electropherograms, especially for ...

DNA Probes and Primers in Dental Practice [PDF]
In clinical microbiology, molecular genetic techniques are increasingly being used to detect and/or differentiate uncultivable, anaerobic, or fastidious microorganisms. During the past decade, DNA probe hybridization and in vitro amplification by polymerase chain reaction have also been introduced to detect oral pathogens.

Composition adulteration in a product is still a serious problem. For that we need a DNA-based test method that is fast, specific and simple. In this study, a rapid test technique with the loop-mediated isothermal amplification method was applied to ...

Trypanosoma evansi: Genetic variability detected using amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of Kenyan isolates [PDF]
We compared two methods to generate polymorphic markers to investigate the population genetics of Trypanosoma evansi; random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and amplified restriction fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses.

Primer1: Primer design Web service for Tetra-Primer ARMS-PCR [PDF]
Tetra-primer ARMS-PCR is used extensively as a low cost, single PCR assay requiring no post-PCR manipulation. The design of successful primers depends on a number of variables such as melting temperatures, GC content, complementarity and selection of ...

Distribution of TT virus (TTV), TTV-like minivirus, and related viruses in humans and nonhuman primates [PDF]
TT virus (TTV) and TTV-like minivirus (TLMV) are small DNA viruses with single-stranded, closed circular, antisense genomes infecting man. Despite their extreme sequence heterogeneity (>50%), a highly conserved region in the untranslated region (UTR ...
