A New NIST Mitochondrial DNA Interactive Website

August 1, 2002
Author(s)
Barbara C. Levin, L A. Tully, Diane K. Hancock, Frederick P. Schwarz, M S. Lee
Every human cell has from a few dozen to several thousand mitochondria each of which contain mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The sequence of the entire human mtDNA (16,569 base pairs) was determined and published by Anderson et al. in 1981. A mtDNA standard

Setup and Test Procedures dd (GNU Fileutils) 4.0.36 Forensic Tests

August 1, 2002
Author(s)
James R. Lyle
This document describes the testing of dd (GNU fileutils) 4.0.36 as a disk imaging tool on a Linux platform. The Linux version used was Linux version 2.4.2-2 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-79). The test cases that were applied are described in Disk Imaging Tool

Development of Y STR Megaplex Assays

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
R Schoske, John Butler, Peter Vallone, Margaret C. Kline, M. Prinz, A J. Redd, M F. Hammer
Y Chromosome short tandem repeat markers have a number of applications in human identity testing including typing the perpetrator of sexual assault cases without differential extraction and tracing paternal lineages for missing person investigations. In

Turkish Population Data With the CODIS Multiplex Short Tandem Repeat Loci

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
B S. Akbasak, B. Budowle, D J. Reeder, J Redman, Margaret C. Kline
Allele frequencies for thirteen tetrameric short tandem repeat (STR) loci, CSF1PO, D18S51, D3S1358, D21S11, D5S818, FGA, D7S820, HUMTH01, D8S1179, TPOX, D13S317, VWA, and D16S539 were determined on 198 Turkish blood samples.

Reference Materials for DNA Analysis

March 1, 2001
Author(s)
Barbara C. Levin, D J. Reeder
Mention has already been made, in Section 5.1. Of the use of DNA-based techniques for control of microbiological DNA. In parallel to the work of ATCC the USA National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed three Standard Reference Materials

Developmental validation of the VersaPlex(tm) 27PY system

January 1, 2001
Author(s)

Kristy Lenz, Dawn Rabbach, Chao Liu, Quyi Xu, Ying Zeng, Becky Steffen, Douglas Storts

The VersaPlex™ 27PY System is an STR multiplex from Promega offering co-amplification of 27 loci. This six-dye multiplex was designed for casework samples and includes loci that meet database requirements for the US (CODIS), Europe (ESS) and China (Chinese

Human Mitochondrial Genetics

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
L A. Tully, Barbara C. Levin
The field of human mitochondrial genetics has advanced way beyond where the Human Genome Project hopes to be by the year 2003, the projected year for completing the sequence of the entire human nuclear DNA genome. Not only has the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)

Long Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTR) Analysis

November 1, 1999
Author(s)
Kristy L. Richie, M D. Goldsborough, M M. Darfler, E A. Benzinger, M L. Lovekamp, D J. Reeder, C D. O'Connell
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) has revolutionized the analysis of DNA from a variety of sources. With its sensitivity and ability to amplify degraded DNAs and small quantities of samples, coupled with fast turn-around-time, PCR is often the analytical

Forensic Sciences: Review of Status and Needs

February 1, 1999
Author(s)
Alim A. Fatah, Kathleen M. Higgins
This document, Forensic Sciences: Status and Needs, is the product of a two-day meeting sponsored by OLES/NIJ/NIST on March 5-6, 1997. This meeting brought together 44 scientists and administrators with the common goal of helping the forensic science
