Abstract:Rheology can be used to probe the differences in physical properties and in-solution behaviours of synthetic and biological polymers, like deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Large fragments of highly concentrated genomic and phage DNA have been characterized using rheology; however, this amount and size of DNA are atypical in DNA extracted from forensic evidence. To determine the applicability of rheology for the analysis of dilute concentrations of short DNA fragments expected from forensic specimens (low molecular… Show more
