Benchmarks have been a driving factor for acceptance and progress in the relational database area, as they gave researchers and engineers directions on the issues to tackle, and marketers the leverage to sell progress on these issues to customers. For more than two decades, standard benchmarks coveringmost application area of relational database have existed, with the most prominent example bei...

Sixteen Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) (DYS19, DYS389I, DYS389II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS385, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS635 and GATA H4.1) were typed in DNA samples from 52 unrelated men and 15 autosomal STRs (CSF1PO, D2S1338, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D19S433, D21S11, FGA, TH01, TPOX, vWA) were also studied for a...

Age-related alterations of DNA repair could be involved in the accumulation of genetic damage with age. Few data suggest a possible alteration with age of the mismatch repair system, evidenced by the acquisition of microsatellite instability. We aimed to point out a possible implication of this repair system in the accumulation of genetic damage with age. Peripheral blood cell DNA from 226 part...

Allele frequencies of 15 STRs included in the PowerPlex 16 System (D3S1358, TH01, D21S11, D18S51, Penta E, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, CSF1PO, Penta D, VWA, D8S1179, TPOX and FGA) were calculated from the referent sample of 100 unrelated individuals of both sexes from Turkish student population living in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Buccal swab, as a source of DNA, was collected from...

Two hundred and sixty unrelated subjects who asked for paternity testing at two Bolivian Laboratories in La Paz and Santa Cruz were studied. The loci D3S1358, vWA, FGA, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, TH01, TPOX, and CSF1PO were typed from blood samples, amplifying DNA by polymerase chain reactions and electrophoresis. Allele frequencies were estimated by simple counting and t...

Nine short tandem repeat (STR) markers (D3S1358, VWA, FGA, THO1, TPOX, CSFIPO, D5S818, D13S317, and D7S820) and a sex-identification marker (Amelogenin locus) were amplified with multiplex PCR and were genotyped with a four-color fluorescence method in samples from 174 unrelated Han individuals in North China. The allele frequencies, genotype frequencies, heterozygosity, probability of discrimi...

1. We have recently re-tested the STR fingerprinting data in our paper (Int J Biol Sci 2011; 7:892-901). DNA fingerprinting analysis was performed using genomic DNA from hsNSCs (passage 22); T1 cells (passages <50 and >150) and HeLa cells by GeneMapper ID v3.2 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) for human STR markers. There are two loci of heterozygosity CSF1PO (9, 10) and D3S1358 (15, 18) in...
