  2. STR analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STR_analysis

    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]

  3. Forensic DNA analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_DNA_analysis

    Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis is the modern day equivalent of RFLP. Not only does STR analysis use less of a sample to analyze DNA, but it also is a part of a larger process called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). PCR is a process that can be used to quickly reproduce up to a billion copies of a singular segment of DNA. [3]

  4. Y-STR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y-STR

    If crime scene DNA is ample and all 13 autosomal loci accessible, the likelihood of two unrelated people matching the same sample is around one in one billion. [1] The basis for the profile probability estimation for Y-STR analysis is the counting method. [4] The application of a confidence interval accounts for database size and sampling ...

  5. Low copy number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_copy_number

    Low Copy Number (LCN) is a DNA profiling technique developed by the UK Forensic Science Service (FSS) which has been in use since 1999. [1]In the United Kingdom use of the technique was suspended between 21 December 2007 and 14 January 2008 while the Crown Prosecution Service conducted a review into its use – this suspension has now been lifted.

  6. Rapid DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_DNA

    Rapid DNA (UK:Rapid DNA profiling) describes the fully automated (hands free) process of developing a CODIS Core STR profile or other STR profile from a reference sample buccal swab. The “swab in – profile out” process consists of automated extraction, amplification , separation, detection and allele calling without human intervention. [ 1 ]

  7. DNA profiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_profiling

    DNA profiling (also called DNA fingerprinting and genetic fingerprinting) is the process of determining an individual's deoxyribonucleic acid characteristics.DNA analysis intended to identify a species, rather than an individual, is called DNA barcoding.

  8. STR multiplex system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STR_multiplex_system

    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.

  9. Forensic serology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_serology

    Once this conversion has happened, the cDNA and the other DNA in the sample can be amplified using PCR and then separated/visualized using a capillary electrophoresis protocol. cDNA specific primers would have to be designed for your miRNA targets. The final output is an electropherogram that contains not only the STR profile of the sample, but ...
