Mass spectrometric base composition profiling: Implications for forensic mtDNA databasing☆
In forensic genetics mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is usually analyzed by direct Sanger-type sequencing (STS). This method is known to be laborious and sometimes prone to human error. Alternative methods have been proposed that lead to faster results. Among these are methods that involve mass-spectrometry resulting in base composition profiles that are, by definition, less informative than the full...
متن کاملGenetic Suspects: Global Governance of Forensic DNA Profiling and Databasing
Over the past 25 years, DNA technology has become a cornerstone of criminal investigations across the globe. In Genetic Suspects, a series of essays seeks to address the key issues surrounding the use of DNA technology in forensics, expounding on scientific, legal, and social concerns. The book is written for a specialized audience, as is stated on the back cover ― specifically those with scien...
متن کاملCompetitive oligonucleotide single-base extension combined with mass spectrometric detection for mutation screening.
A rapid, robust and widely applicable mutation detection scheme not requiring radioactivity or gel-based detection is introduced. It is a single-tube, competitive oligonucleotide single-base extension (COSBE) reaction using a pair of primers with the 3'-terminal base complementary to either the normal or mutant allele. Upon hybridization and addition of a polymerase and the nucleotide triphosph...
متن کاملIdentification of novel diagnostic serum biomarkers for Chagas' disease in asymptomatic subjects by mass spectrometric profiling.
More than 10 million people are thought to be infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, primarily in the Americas. The clinical manifestations of Chagas' disease (CD) are variable, but most subjects remain asymptomatic for decades. Only 15 to 30% eventually develop terminal complications. All current diagnostic tests have limitations. New approaches are needed for blood bank screening as well as for imp...
متن کاملA call for mtDNA data quality control in forensic science.
There is increasing evidence that many of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) databases published in the fields of forensic science and molecular anthropology are flawed. An a posteriori phylogenetic analysis of the sequences could help to eliminate most of the errors and thus greatly improve data quality. However, previously published caveats and recommendations along these lines were not yet picked...
