Quantitation and Characterization of Human Nuclear and Mitochondrial DNA
OSUresearchers have invented a unique PCR method, Quantitative TemplateAmplification Technology (Q-TAT), that simultaneously amplifies DNA, determinesthe amount of human nuclear and mitochondrial DNA present in a forensic sample,determines the gender of the DNA donor, assesses the quality of the DNA, and determineswhether or not the sample contains significant levels of PCR inhibitors thatwould interfere with amplification.
Highly sensitive and reproducibleEnables forensic DNA-typing labs to useexisting technology and instrumentationPermits simultaneous quantification of bothnuclear and mitochondrial DNALess expensive than current methods
