| 摘要 |
<p>The present disclosure relates to methodology for fast and cost-effective identification of the source of DNA samples. DNA samples obtained from unknown or unrecognized tissues or cell types are analyzed according to the methodology described herein, yielding an identification of the tissue and/or cell type source. Identification is based on sequential biochemical procedures including methylation sensitive/dependent restriction and polymerase chain reaction, followed by analysis of the data. All biochemical steps are performed in a single test tube. The disclosure has immediate applications in forensic science for identification of the tissue source of DNA obtained from biological stains. The disclosure also has immediate applications in cancer diagnosis for identification.</p> |
