Paternity investigation analysis in artificial mother-deficient cases using STR loci in the Brazilian population

Analysis of DNA profiles extracted from degraded samples from archival of formalin fixed tissue included in paraffin (FFTIP) and hairs

“…Fragment size analysis was performed using the GeneMapper v.3.1 software after electrophoresis on the ABI 3130 Avant Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems). Control supplied with AmpFlSTR Kits [7]. Because we had previously (2002) utilized the PCR, in FFTIP sections, to detect the presence of IS6110 (123 bp), specific from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex [8], we chose to use the same material as a model system to ascertain the possibility of studying archival tissue specimens.…”
