Database of nine tetrameric STR loci — D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317 and D7S820 in Thai population

Allele frequencies of 15 STR loci of three main ethnic populations in Singapore using an in-house marker panel

“…TPOX showed the least Power of Discrimination between individuals in Chinese and Malay (PD ¼ 0:782 and PD ¼ 0:787), while CSF1PO showed the lowest Power of Discrimination in Indian population to (PD¼0.839. These findings are in close agreement with similar populations in South East Asia, Hong Kong, and India [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Employment of nanomaterials in polymerase chain reaction: insight into the impacts and putative operating mechanisms of nano-additives in PCR

“…4 PCR was well-described as: "The process which comprises treating of separate complementary strands of a target nucleic acid with a molar excess of two primers and extending the primers to form complementary primer extension products which in turn act as templates for synthesizing the desired nucleic acid sequence". 5 PCR technique has been used immensely for a wide variety of applications including mutation detection, 6 gene cloning, 7 genotyping, 8 microarray, 9 DNA sequencing, 10 ngerprinting, 11 paternity testing, 12 pathogen detection, 13 forensics 14 and diagnostics. 15 The signicance of PCR originates from its ability to amplify trace amounts of DNA or cDNA (complementary DNA) sequences within minutes in a reaction realized in an automated machine.…”
