A total 107 EDTA-blood samples was collected from unrelated males of Han population in Chengdu of China. DNA was extracted utilizing the Chelex-100 method (1). The allelic variation at the two Y-STR loci named as DYS544 and DYS587 were analyzed by PCR amplification. Each PCR reaction contained 2-5 ng human genome, 1 × Taq buffer, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 200 μM each dNTP (Pharmacia Biotech, Sweden), 2 U Taq polymerase (Promega Corporation), 0.3 μM each primer, in a total volume of 37.5 μL. PCR amplifications were carried out in a GeneAmp PCR System 9600 (Perkin-Elmer) with pre-denaturing for 2 min at 94°C, followed by 33 cycles of denaturing for 30 s at 94°C, annealing for 60 s at 58°C, and extension for 30 s at 72°C.
Blood samples were collected from 109 unrelated males of Han ethnic group in Chengdu of China. DNA was extracted using Chelex method (1). The volume of PCR reaction for each locus was 37.5 µL, which contained 2-10 ng human genome, 1 X Taq buffer, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 1.6 . g/mL BSA, 200 RM each dNTP (Pharmacia Biotech, Sweden), 1.5 U Taq polymerase (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI), 0.3 RM each primer. PCR amplifications were carried out in a GeneAmp PCR System 9600 (Perkin-Elmer, Foster City, CA) with pre-denaturing for 3 min at 94°C, 36 cycles of denaturing for 30 s at 94°C, annealing for 60 s at 61°C and extension for 30 s at 72°C. The amplicons were analyzed by horizontal nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with discontinuous buffer system and visualized by silver staining (2). Alleles were designated according to recommendation of the DNA commission of the International Society of Forensic Genetics (3). Data of population genetics and forensic science were analyzed according to Hou's method (4).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
