DNA Profiling through the decades and Daubert approved!PCR, RFLP, VNTR, and finally STRFuture: SNP by JMP
All other DNA profiling steps occur.. PCR, Restriction enzymes, gel electrophoresis or interpretation by current and charge and mass But there are new procedures….
RFLP older procedure • longer to process • requires large sample
DNA polymorphism is found in non-encoded junk DNA… highly variable in length and base sequence
Some bases are constantly repeated along lengths of the DNA strand a variable number of times… called VNTR variable number tandem repeats
Short tandem repeats: STRs shorter than VNTRs and repeat frequently More known STRs than VNTRs; more data, more validity, less error Even less sample amounts and degraded amounts are useful and quick! Introduced in 1994
NOW: PCR and STR is standard and Daubert accepted RFLP: 1/1 billion likelihood of same DNA STR: 1/1 trillion Reliable, fast, works well with very little sample and /or degraded and more precision than RFLP
