联苯胺试验对血痕DNA检验的影响

目的探讨联苯胺试验及相关试剂对血痕DNA检验的影响。方法制作含1μL静脉血的滤纸血痕970份,其中10份为对照样本,960份经联苯胺试验及相关试剂分别处理后,采用Chelex-100法和硅珠法提取DNA,Amp F詛STR~(TM)Identifiler~(TM)Plus PCR扩增试剂盒进行复合扩增,对比各组STR分型结果。结果联苯胺试验后立即提取DNA,硅珠法的STR基因座检出数为(3.80±1.34)个,而Chelex-100法均未获得STR分型结果;联苯胺试验后干燥处理,硅珠法有13例(21.7%)获得全部STR基因座分型结果,且STR基因座检出数[(12.90±1.49)个]远高于Chelex-100法[(4.70±1.96)个](P0.05);加入冰醋酸后立即提取DNA,硅珠法的STR基因座检出数为(9.40±2.09)个,而Chelex-100法均未获得STR分型结果;只加冰醋酸后干燥处理以及只加四甲基联苯胺乙醇饱和溶液或3%过氧化氢溶液,两种方法均获得完整15个STR基因座分型结果。结论联苯胺试验对血痕的后续DNA检验有很大的影响,Chelex-100法不适合联苯胺试验后血痕的DNA检验,联苯胺试验后干燥处理及采用硅珠纯化的方法可有效提升联苯胺试验后血痕的STR基因座检出数。

Recovery of DNA from bone without demineralization

This study assessed the performance of five different DNA extraction methods for the recovery of DNA from bone: ChargeSwitch® gDNA Plant Kit, DNA IQ™ System Kit, DNeasy® Blood & Tissue Kit, PrepFiler® BTA Forensic DNA Extraction Kit and phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol. DNA was extracted from pig rib and femur bones that was fresh, had undergone surface decomposition for three months, and had undergone surface decomposition for one year. Extracted DNA was analyzed using real-time PCR and amplification of an in-house PCR multiplex that assessed the quality and quantity of DNA and for the presence of inhibitors. The phenol-chloroform-based method consistently yielded the highest amounts of DNA and DNA IQ the lowest; however, all methods produced relatively high yields of DNA from both pig rib and femur samples that could be amplified without any detected inhibition. The data demonstrate that with reasonable quality bone samples any of the tested methods can isolate DNA that can be successfully analyzed. The effective use of internal PCR controls is also demonstrated.     

Efficiency of Casework Direct Kit for extraction of touch DNA samples obtained from cars steering wheels

Analysis of STR profiles obtained from touch DNA has been very useful to the elucidation of crimes. Extraction method may be determinant for the recovery of genetic material collected from different surfaces. Vehicle theft is one of the most common crimes in São Paulo city, Brazil, but collection of biological traces in car steering wheels is not considered, because of the belief that profiles generated won’t be able to identify the thief, only the owner. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of extraction methods for obtaining DNA profiles in samples collected from steering wheels. Eight criminal acts were simulated with 2 different individuals each (mixture of victim and thief), in duplicate, in order to compare two extraction methods: DNA IQ™ and Casework Direct Kit (both Promega Corporation). Genetic material was collected by double swab method and quantified by Quantifiler™Trio (ThermoFisher Scientific). Amplification was conducted with PowerPlex® Fusion System (Promega). It was possible to obtain STR profiles for all experiments. The mixtures were compared with reference profiles to evaluated how many alleles of each donor were observed. Samples extracted with Casework Direct Kit obtained STR profiles with higher averages of alleles for primary and secondary donors (88.7% and 59.9%, respectively) than those extracted with DNA IQ™ (60.4% and 38.1%, respectively). This could be explained by the differences established in the protocols of both methods, since DNA IQ™ is based on successive washes and can result in loss of DNA, whereas Casework Direct Kit minimizes this problem. We concluded that Casework Direct Kit was more efficient for processing touch DNA samples than DNA IQ™.     

Implementation and Validation of the Teleshake Unit for DNA IQ™ Robotic Extraction and Development of a Large Volume DNA IQ™ Method

Abstract: Automated platforms used for forensic casework sample DNA extraction need to be versatile to accommodate a wide variety of sample types, thus protocols frequently need modification. In this study, DNA IQ? methods previously developed for the Biomek^® 2000 Automation Workstation were adapted for the Teleshake Unit using normal volumes and all deepwell extraction, and a large volume DNA IQ? method developed. DNA purification without detectable contamination of adjacent reagent blanks is reported in the extraction of tissue samples containing several micrograms of DNA. Sensitivity and contamination studies demonstrated similar performance with the manual organic extraction method for bloodstain dilution samples. Mock casework samples demonstrated the effectiveness of the Teleshake and Teleshake large volume methods. Because of the performance and increased versatility of the DNA IQ? extraction with these modifications, the Teleshake Unit has been implemented in both normal and large volume automated DNA extractions at the Virginia Department of Forensic Science.

Evaluation of five DNA extraction systems for recovery of DNA from bone

Five DNA extraction systems were assessed for their DNA extraction efficiency on samples of fresh pig bone. Four commercially available silica-based extraction kits (ChargeSwitch^® gDNA Plant Kit (Life Technologies), DNA IQ^TM System Kit (Promega), DNeasy^® Blood & Tissue Kit (Qiagen) and PrepFiler^® BTA Forensic DNA Extraction Kit (Life Technologies)) and a conventional phenol-chloroform method were tested in this study. Extracted DNA samples were quantitated with GoTaq^® qPCR Master Mix (Promega) using an Applied Biosystems^® 7500 Real-Time PCR System and the extracts were amplified using an in-house multiplex system. The phenol-chloroform extraction produced higher yields of DNA than the silica-based extraction methods. Among the silica-based extractions ChargeSwitch^® gDNA Plant Kit recovered the highest amounts of DNA. However, all methods produced DNA that could be amplified and none of the extracts contained any detectable inhibition.

A new technology in mtDNA sequencing: Success rates vs time

Study of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region is a current practice in forensic genetics. In our service, mtDNA analysis is performed in many evidentiary specimens. Evaluation of this methodology is important to improve quality, increase efficiency and decrease artefacts, in order to reduce costs and time consuming.A case with 12 reference samples (bucal swabs) and 190 telogenic hair specimens extracted with DNA IQ™ System Tissue and Hair Extraction Kit (Promega) is reported. HVS-1 and HVS-2 control regions were sequenced with BigDye^® Terminator v1.1 Kit (Applied Biosystems), using BetterBuffer (Microzone Limited), followed by a simple bead purification method (XTerminator) to remove unincorporated terminators. Application of this procedure had success in 180 hair samples within a very short time comparing to dRhodamine/ethanolic precipitation sequencing strategy and also demonstrated that better results are achieved with clean sequence data closer to the primer.The quality of data produced by the BigDye/BetterBuffer/XTerminator (BDX) procedure has been demonstrated to be very high. Besides that the BDX procedure can significantly reduce overall processing time and cost per reaction. This new methodology has additional advantages like fewer reagent transfers and smaller amounts of DNA.
