26plex Autosomal STR Assay — A short tandem repeat (STR) multiplex assay was developed with 25 autosomal loci plus the sex-typing locus amelogenin for a total of 26 amplified products in a single reaction. Primers for the loci … CCQM BAWG - P113 — The US agricultural system is a major exporter of raw materials such as grain and finished foods, a large portion of which consists of commodity crops. Many of these crops are genetically modified … Cytomegalovirus SRM — Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is commonly carried by the general population (50% to 80%). After the initial infection the virus generally remains latent in the individual. However, in immuno-compromised … DNA Mixture Interpretation — Based on data collected over the last year from various forensic labs, (see http://www.cstl.nist.gov/biotech/strbase/mixture.htm) the majority of DNA evidence mixtures observed contain material … Measurement and Standards for Biotech Crop Detection and Quantification — The US agricultural system is a major exporter of raw materials such as grain and finished foods. A large part of the market consists of commodity crops. Many of these crops are genetically … Rapid Multiplex PCR — Forensic DNA typing is currently conducted in approximately eight to ten hours. The process includes DNA extraction, quantitation, multiplex PCR amplification, and fragment length detection. … Updates of SRM 2391b — NIST has produced several PCR-based DNA Profiling Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) for the forensic community. The primary uses of these materials are validation and calibration of currently …
