... and small quantities of samples, coupled with fast turn-around-time, PCR is often the analytical method of choice for DNA profiling in forensic laboratories. RFLP methods, while requiring larger amounts of high molecular weight DNA and needing approximately 6–8 weeks of analytical time, still provide...

.... Furthermore, being unconscious, the suspect was unable to give a statement. The bloodstains from the car and the blood of the victim were tested by conventional blood group assays and DNA (RFLP and PCR). By conventional blood group assays, the effects of the blood transfusion were seen. On the other hand...

...MA Tahir, Ph.D.; JF Caruso, B.S.; PP Hamby, M.S.; SM Sovinski, B.S.; UA Tahir The restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of blood, semen, and other body fluids, has become increasingly important in violent criminal cases. The identification of additional tissues suitable...

...B Budowle, Ph.D.; AM Giusti, B.S. Fixed bin frequencies for the D5S110 locus were determined in African Americans, Caucasians, Southeastern Hispanics, and Southwestern Hispanics. The data were generated by RFLP analysis of HAE III-digested genomic DNA. The D5S110 locus met Hardy-Weinberg...

...MNE Huang; B Budowle, Ph.D. Fixed bin frequencies for the VNTR loci D1S7, D2S44, D4S139, D5S110, and D17S79 were determined in a Chinese sample population. The data were generated by RFLP analysis of Hae III-digested genomic DNA and chemiluminescence detection. The five VNTR loci meet Hardy...

... that amplification by PCR was more likely to produce positive results. Based on these findings, we conclude that PCR-initiated analysis is more suitable than RFLP analysis for individualization of urine samples. L Medintz, 1 M.S., L. Chiriboga, 1 B.S., L.
