Effect of Carcinomas on Autosomal Trait Screening: A Review Article.

This review highlights the effect of carcinomas on the results of the examination of autosomal genetic traits for identification and paternity tests when carcinoid tissue is the only source and no other samples are available. In DNA typing or genetic fingerprinting, variable elements are isolated and identified within the base pair sequences that form the DNA. The person's probable identity can be determined by analysing nucleotide sequences in particular regions of DNA unique to everyone.

Short Tandem Repeat (STR) Profiling of Earwax DNA Obtained from Healthy Volunteers.

The present study aimed to establish human earwax as a potential source of DNA evidence that could be effectively used in human identification. Sixty earwax samples were obtained from 15 healthy male and female Saudi volunteers living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Four consecutive earwax swab samples were obtained from each volunteer and stored for 1, 15, 30 and 60 days.

Forensic DNA Analysis of Mixed Mosquito Blood Meals: STR Profiling for Human Identification.

Mosquito vectors captured at a crime scene are forensically valuable since they feed on human blood, and hence, human DNA can be recovered to help identify the victim and/or the suspect. This study investigated the validity of obtaining the human short tandem repeats (STRs) profile from mixed blood meals of the mosquito, L. (Diptera, Culicidae).

Protective effects of antioxidants on age-related changes in the electrophoretic patterns of cardiac LDH, hepatic ALP and serum proteins in male golden hamster.
