Trazas de ADN y su implicancia en la obtención de perfiles genéticos. Revisión bibliográfica. [PDF]
Introducción: El aumento en la sensibilidad de las técnicas empleadas ha permitido la obtención de perfiles genéticos a partir de trazas de ADN que se hayan depositado mediante contacto antes, durante o después de la comisión de los hechos investigados ...

The cyanobacteriosponge Terpios hoshinota occurs on tropical reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific. The species encrusts live coral, and other benthos, and is considered a pest species that can threaten the health and productivity of locally native benthic ...

Recovery techniques for contact DNA traces
Donor DNA profiling can serve at least two purposes: 1) to enhance the evidential value of DNA deposited on garments/ items and 2) to provide valuable tactical information during crime scene investigation. In this review, different types of methods for the recovery of the contact DNA traces have been summarized.

The Detection of Cancer Epigenetic Traces in Cell-Free DNA [PDF]
Nucleic acid fragments found in blood circulation originate mostly from dying cells and carry signs pointing to specific features of the parental cell types. Deciphering these clues may be transformative for numerous research and clinical applications but strongly depends on the development and implementation of robust analytical methods.
