不同织物上血斑洗涤后DNA检验结果分析

目的分析评价织物上洗涤过的血斑DNA检验的效果。方法取棉、化纤和麻布块各25份,用40μL新鲜血均匀涂制成直径约1.5cm的圆形血斑,样本分为5组,分别在加有皂粉的洗衣机中洗涤1、3、10、30、60min;所有样本用IQ试剂盒提取DNA,用Identifiler PlusTM试剂盒扩增,并进行STR分型检测。结果各种载体血斑周边处检材中,仅棉布载体洗涤1min检材检出RFU200的峰,但等位基因丢失率可达50%以上,不能正确判型。各种载体血斑检材洗涤30min以内均可得到成功分型,但峰高以棉布最高、化纤最低,洗涤60min时仅棉布血斑检出率为100%,其他载体血斑均有明显的等位基因丢失及非特异性扩增,检出率低于60%。结论洗涤一定时间后的血迹仍具有DNA分型检验的价值,能否正确提取洗涤后的血迹检材是分型成功的关键,洗涤时间较长的检材判型应谨慎。

全自动核酸提取仪联合真空浓缩仪在法医学中的应用

目的探讨全自动核酸提取仪联合真空浓缩仪在法医学DNA提取中的应用价值。方法采集人外周静脉血稀释成40、80、120、160、200、240、280和320倍的梯度样本,并对每一梯度的样本分别进行无抑纯化提取,提取后的DNA洗脱液取6μL直接进行扩增,剩余部分使用真空浓缩仪进行浓缩,浓缩前后的DNA均使用Investigator 26plex QS试剂盒进行扩增、检测。结果添加果酸的梯度样本仅在40倍稀释时获得完整STR分型结果,另外5种方式处理的梯度样本在40～160倍稀释时均获得完整的STR分型。DNA浓缩后的STR分型结果显示,平均峰高和基因座检出率均有一定程度的提高,但是效果并不明显。结论全自联合使用可提高法医学检材的检验成功率。

常见洗手方式对92式手枪射击残留物检出率的影响

目的研究常见洗手方式对92式手枪射击残留物检出率的影响,为确定犯罪嫌疑人射击与否的推断提供依据。方法实验人员使用92式手枪分别射击1枪和3枪,射击后0．5h内,射击人员的手分别用清水、肥皂和洗手液清洗3遍（对照组为未清洗）,对实验人员的手部进行射击残留物的提取,利用扫描电镜和能谱仪对射击残留物进行检验。结果持枪射击后,射击人的手部会附着大量的射击残留物,用常见的洗手方式进行清洗后,仍然能检测到射击残留物,且不同的洗手方式对射击残留物的检出率的影响差异显著。结论常见洗手方式不能完全清除手部的射击残留物,对涉枪案件犯罪嫌疑人的判定有一定的参考价值。     

The detection and persistence of Cannabis sativa DNA on skin

The presence of Cannabis sativa DNA was detected on the skin of persons who have recently handled both leaf and resinous material. The persistence of C. sativa DNA was examined on the skin.

Assessment of PowerPlex® Fusion 5C’s ability to type degraded DNA

DNA samples collected at crime scenes are often degraded so this research focused on the ability of the Promega PowerPlex® Fusion 5C amplification kit to type both naturally and artificially degraded DNA.DNA was degraded naturally by placing equal volumes of blood on white fabric that was stored either inside, outside in a shaded area, or outside in direct sunlight. Samples were then collected every 10 days for 60 days and the DNA extracted (QIAamp® DNA Investigator). Artificially degraded samples were created by exposing extracted DNA to either UV light or 95 °C heat for varying times. DNA was also degraded artificially by placing blood samples into a 50% bleach solution for varying times prior to extraction.Following sample treatment, standard forensic DNA analysis was performed including quantification (Investigator® Quantiplex) and amplification (PowerPlex® Fusion 5C). Separation and detection were performed on an ABI 3130xl capillary electrophoresis unit and analysis was performed using GeneMapper ID v3.2.1.While the time and shade samples showed similar amounts of degradation, the samples exposed to direct sun showed more degradation. The artificially degraded samples showed more signs of degradation such as reduced overall peak height and peak height imbalance at heterozygous loci. There were also some cases where an allele that was known to be in the profile exhibited total dropout. Although there were some instances of both allelic dropout and heterozygote peak imbalance, PowerPlex® Fusion was able to reliably type degraded DNA as all alleles detected were consistent with the known donor profile. The results show that PowerPlex® Fusion is a robust kit capable of handling forensically challenged samples.

The analysis of biological samples from crime scene for a future human DNA profile confrontation. Effects of presumptive test reagents on the ability to obtain STR profiles for human identification

Because of the increase of evidence of blood stains, that have been washed or cleaned in an attempt to mask the analysis of DNA profiles, there is also an increase in the use of presumptive tests on samples sent to laboratories. Some of the presumptive tests, used to identify blood and semen stains, could potentially affect the recovery of high molecular weight DNA from the samples, or extinguish them, especially those already present in small quantities. After the presumptive tests, often these samples are discarded. This study aimed to examine the possibility of obtaining a DNA profile from samples submitted for presumptive testing and cleaned with bleaches with and without chlorine. Two different protocols were conducted: (a) A unique sample of human blood in natura (5 μL), already typed through the DNA techniques with the genetic profile previously known (control), was distributed onto cotton fabrics and dried at room temperature. Four samples of fabric were macerated in saline solution and Coombs serum and then stored for three months (room temperature and freezer −20 °C). (b) Another sample of human blood, type A, in natura, already typed through the techniques of DNA (control) was used. Aliquots of 200 μL were distributed in: cotton, denim and synthetic fabric. The samples were dried at room temperature for 24 h. The blood stains in those fabrics (cotton, denim and synthetic) were then divided into three groups: unwashed, cleaned with chlorine bleach and cleaned with chlorine bleach and soap powder. The samples were again dried at room temperature for 24 h, before the use of luminol. The DNA were extracted with Chelex 100 and amplified with the Identifiler Kit (Applied Biosystems). The blood stains exposed to saline and Coombs serum had DNA profiles consistent with untreated samples (controls). This result shows that the experts should keep and store the samples treated with saline and Coombs serum for future DNA confrontation when necessary. Also discussed in this paper the pattern of blood stains after washing with bleaching solutions, as well as the quantity of DNA obtained from these samples.     

Exploring the Impacts of Ordinary Laboratory Alterations During Forensic DNA Processing on Peak Height Variation,Thresholds, and Probability of Dropout,

Impacts of validation design on DNA signal were explored, and the level of variation introduced by injection, capillary changes, amplification, and kit lot was surveyed by examining a set of replicate samples ranging in mass from 0.25 to 0.008 ng. The variations in peak height, heterozygous balance, dropout probabilities, and baseline noise were compared using common statistical techniques. Data indicate that amplification is the source of the majority of the variation observed in the peak heights, followed by capillary lots. The use of different amplification kit lots did not introduce variability into the peak heights, heterozygous balance, dropout, or baseline. Thus, if data from case samples run over a significant time period are not available during validation, the validation must be designed to, at a minimum, include the amplification of multiple samples of varying quantity, with known genotype, amplified and run over an extended period of time using multiple pipettes and capillaries.     

Validation of the AMPFℓSTR® MiniFilerTM PCR Amplification Kit for Use in Forensic Casework*

Abstract: The AmpF?STR^® MiniFiler^TM PCR Amplification Kit is designed to genotype degraded and/or inhibited DNA samples when the AmpF?STR^® Identifiler^TM PCR Amplification Kit is incapable of generating a complete genetic profile. Validation experiments, following the SWGDAM guidelines, were designed to evaluate the performance of MiniFiler. Data obtained demonstrated that MiniFiler, when used in conjunction with Identifiler, provided an increased ability to obtain genetic profiles from challenged samples. The optimum template range was found to be between 0.2 and 0.6 ng, with 0.3 ng yielding the best results. Full concordance was achieved between the MiniFiler kit and Identifiler kit except in a single case of a null allele at locus D21S11. Numerous instances of severe heterozygous peak imbalance (<50%) were observed in single source samples amplified within the optimum range of input DNA suggesting that caution be taken when attempting to deduce component genotypes in a mixture.
