The highly polymorphic human leukocyte antigen (HLA) locus is located on chromosome 6 and encodes peptide-presenting proteins, which perform the first step in adaptive immunity and respond against ...
DNA typing involves scientific analysis of genes in a sample of DNA. While DNA typing has medical indications, it is also used in forensic science to identify remains or establish a familial ...
The current standard methodology in forensic DNA typing relies on amplification of short tandem repeat (STR) markers by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and allele sizes (i.e., length-based) ...
The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Crime Laboratory in Washington, D.C., will soon begin to use DNA testing methods regularly. Scientists at the FBI's Forensic Science Research and Training Center ...
Roche Applied Science's LINEAR ARRAY Mitochondrial DNA HVI/HVII Region-Sequence Typing Kit rapidly analyzes forensic samples with the greatest evidentiary value, while conserving sample DNA. The kit ...
A new form of PCR has been used to improve the library preparation for forensic DNA typing from difficult samples like touch evidence and human remains. Typically, DNA sequencing and analysis is ...
Scientists have designed a new system for molecular blood group typing that offers blood banks the possibility of extensive screening of blood donors at a relatively low cost. Although blood ...
Evaluation of previous HLA typing for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center Clinical Coordinator Office prior to consult appointments (includes review of CIL and outside lab typing). Review and advice on ...
