Abstract: | With the aim to asses the efficiency of the DNA IQ System in the recovery of DNA from semen samples, cotton swabs were prepared from 1/5 serial dilutions of semen. Each swab was fractionated in four equivalent quarters and the DNA was further extracted following the differential lysis protocol. The recovered DNA was quantified by means of real time PCR and the average DNA yield was used to compare results. Direct extractions of equivalent aliquots of each semen dilution were used as reference samples. Even though a high percentage of the starting material was lost during the process of transfer to/recover from the solid support, our experimental results demonstrated that the DNA IQ system was able to detect around 103 sperm cells in the starting material, enabling to obtain a complete DNA profile with AmpFl STR IdentiFiler PCR Amplification Kit (Applied Biosystems). |
