    摘要: A method for determining gender from a human DNA sample. The loci of Alu element insertion is selected, amplified and evaluated in terms of size of the fragment. The gender assay utilizes AluSTXa for the X chromosome, AluSTYa for the Y chromosome, or both AluSTXa and AluSTYa, to reduce the possibility of error to a negligible quantity. The inserted chromosome yields a large fragment when the homologous region is amplified. The males are distinguished as having two DNA amplicons present, while females have only a single amplicon. The kit adapted for carrying out the method includes a pair of primers to amplify the locus and optionally polymerase chain reaction regents.

    摘要: The way to design a “filled” site (which contains an interspersed element) primer set to target a particular locus is to design one of the two primers such that it encompasses that unique information (e.g., interspersed element+flanking genomic sequence+direct repeat). The way to design an “empty” site primer is to design one of the two primers such that the entire direct repeat sequence in addition to flanking genomic sequence is included on both sides. To improve efficiency, the “empty” site primer designed around the direct repeat should not be too long. This primer design of the present invention allows for the ability to test any type of interspersed genetic element containing characteristic direct repeat sequences (direct repeats). This gives the option of many new polymorphic marker sites because Alu elements are not the only interspersed genetic elements having direct repeats flanking their core sequence.

    摘要: A family of PCR assays is disclosed for determining, both qualitatively and quantitatively, presence of material from a predetermined species source and for quantifying the amount of such material. The assays are based respectively on SINEs uniquely characteristic of pig species, cow species, chicken species, and ruminant sub-order, and having a high copy number. The assays disclosed permit rapid, inexpensive evaluation of meat samples to facilitate elimination from their diet of pork or beef by persons desiring to avoid such food sources; as well as the assay of cattle feed to determine presence therein of ruminant-source proteins, which are a potential source of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), commonly referred to as “mad cow disease.” The assays amplify the predetermined unique SINEs and the resulting amplified mixture is then evaluated qualitatively by electrophoresis on gel containing ethidium bromide or quantitatively by SYBR Green-based detection or TaqMan chemistry. The invention also extends to kits, primers, and other products used in connection with the assays. The amplicons are selected to be from about 100 to 170 bp long.

    摘要: An assay for determining presence of human DNA in a sample in which non-human DNA may also be present and for quantitating such human DNA. One embodiment uses intra-Alu based PCR and another uses inter-Alu based PCR. The assays are performed without unique, expensive equipment. The assays are based on detection of multiple-copy Alu elements recently integrated into the human genome that are largely absent from non-human primates and other mammals.

    摘要: A comprehensive set of human specific, target specific, multiplex PCR assays for DNA quantitation is provided. Our duplex qPCR for nDNA/mtDNA had a linear quantitation range of 100 ng to 1 pg, and our triplex qPCR assay for nDNA/mtDNA/male Y DNA had a linear range of 100 ng to 0.1 ng. Human-specificity was demonstrated by the accurate detection of 0.05% and 5% human DNA, respectively, from a complex source of starting templates. Target-specificity was confirmed by the lack of cross-amplification among targets. A high throughput alternative for human gender determination was also developed by multiplexing the male Y primer/probe set with an X chromosome based system. Background cross-amplification with DNA templates derived from fourteen other species was negligible aside from the male Y assay which produced spurious amplifications from other non-human primate templates. Mainstream application of these assays will undoubtedly benefit forensic genomics.
