STR analysis is a tool in forensic analysis that evaluates specific STR regions found on nuclear DNA.The variable (polymorphic) nature of the STR regions that are analyzed for forensic testing intensifies the discrimination between one DNA profile and another. [3]
STR polymorphisms are genetic markers that may be used to identify a DNA sequence. The FBI analyses 13 specific STR loci for their database. These may be used in many areas of genetics in addition to their forensic uses. One can think of a STR multiplex system as a collection of specific STRs which are positionally conserved on a target genome.
DNA profiling in plant: Plant DNA profiling (fingerprinting) is a method for identifying cultivars that uses molecular marker techniques. This method is gaining attention due to Trade Related Intellectual property rights (TRIPs) and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). [40] Advantages of Plant DNA profiling:
A microsatellite is a tract of tandemly repeated (i.e. adjacent) DNA motifs that range in length from one to six or up to ten nucleotides (the exact definition and delineation to the longer minisatellites varies from author to author), [1] [6] and are typically repeated 5–50 times.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now classifies eggs as a “healthy, nutrient-dense" food, according to a new proposed rule. Registered dietitians react to the change.
2. Hoppin’ John. Southerners are usually eating Hoppin’ John (a simmery mix of black-eyed peas and rice) on New Year's Day. Like most “vegetable” recipes from around this area, it contains ...

The final output is an electropherogram that contains not only the STR profile of the sample, but also a peak representing which miRNA is present in that sample. [ 15 ] Current potential miRNA biomarkers: Research is still needed in order to narrow down potential biomarkers, as some tissues and fluids have the same miRNA expressed in different ...
