Who Let the Dogma Out?
This molecule creates mRNA
What is RNA polymerase?
Saliva, Blood, Immunochromatographic
What is RSID?
This method of DNA analysis utilizes the differing sizes of VNTRs to identify persons of interest
What is RFLP?
This notable figure discovered PCR in 1983
Who is Kary Mullis?
If you notice that a quant value is low, you can try this to increase the DNA quantity in the sample
What is Concentrate?
This molecule is responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during translation
What is tRNA?
Mum, hair, circular
What is mtDNA?
This method of DNA extraction uses polarity and solubility to separate DNA from protein and lipids. It is also quite toxic
What is Phenol-Chloroform?
In 1984, Sir Alec Jefferys discovered this innovative forensic tool
What is Genetic Fingerprinting?
If the degradation index for a particular sample is high, you might want to do this during amplification preparation
What is Add more sample?
DNA polymerase reads the template strand in this direction
What is 3' - 5'?
Twist, push, calibrate
What is Pipette?
Although not as discriminatory as other methods, this DNA analytical method was one of the first to utilize PCR in its workflow
What is HLA-DQ alpha Analysis?
This individual has authored internationally acclaimed textbooks relating to the field of forensic DNA typing and is currently a NIST fellow and Special assistant to the Director of Forensic Science at NIST
Who is John Butler?
If you suspect that an RSID test is giving a false negative due to high dose hook effect, you should do this (According to SOP)
What is Dilute the Sample 1:100?
In RNA, Uracil takes the place of this nitrogenous base
What is Thymine?
Dye, soil, tissue
What is Inhibitor?
This presumptive test for amylase turns yellow/brown if positive. A negative result would yield a blue/black color change.
What is the Starch-Iodine test?
Said to be the future of forensic DNA testing, SNP typing is made possible by a certain type of DNA sequencing discovered in 1977
What is Sanger Sequencing? (Frederick Sanger)
If you see a spike in an EPG, you should do this
What is Re-inject?
These short DNA sequences code for protein structure
What is a Codon?
Magnesium, Manganese, Calcium
What are Cofactors?
Discovered in 1904, this color change test for blood is considered one of the oldest serological tests in forensic history. It is no longer used due to being carcinogenic.
What is the Alder test (Benzidine test)?
This acclaimed figure in the global forensic community is a co-developer of STRmix and has co-authored over 200 publications.
Who is John Buckleton?
If a tri-allele is observed in casework samples, this must be done
What is Re-amplify and type?
