Genetic profiling variation caused by tissue type, error, and damage
(2006)Genetic profiling variations caused by tissue type, error, and damage have been studied only minimally in the past. Even though it is well accepted that damage to the DNA molecule and PCR induced error occur, little focus ... -
Improving genetic profiling techniques for low copy number DNA / by Shana Hayter.
(2007)The extraction of DNA from ancient samples presents many obstacles to the analyst. These samples are often subjected to many years of harsh environmental conditions and many forms of damage resulting in low copy number and ... -
Molecular detection and identification of parasites involved in human disease
(2006)The detection and identification of disease-causing parasites via DNA and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) offers a new approach for quick and efficient disease diagnosis. Three nucleic acid based technologies have ... -
Nature and structure of DNA through the process of degradation
(2004)The identification and characterisation of DNA damage is of great importance to molecular research and has significant implications for clinical and forensic fields. From the moment of cell death, DNA incurs many forms ... -
Optimizing the sensitivity and specificity of genetic disease detection / by Travis E. Marion.
(2007)The molecular diagnosis of genetic disease is of great importance to the field of medicine and medical research. Though many rare inherited diseases have been described in the medical literature, the inheritance pattern ... -
Towards the optimisation of a detection system for markers linked to neural tube defects
(2008)Neural tube defects are the second most common birth defect of the central nervous system. The aim of this research is to design and optimise a novel detection system to analyse five markers that have been shown to be ...
