Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial DNA sequence heteroplasmy in the Grand Duke of Russia Georgij Romanov establishes the authenticity of the remains of Tsar Nicholas II.

TL;DR: The skeletal remains of the Tsar's brother Georgij Romanov were analysed, at the request of the Russian Federation government, in order to gain further insight into the occurrence and segregation of heteroplasmic mtDNA variants in theTsar's maternal lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developmental validation of a single-tube amplification of the 13 CODIS STR loci, D2S1338, D19S433, and amelogenin: the AmpFlSTR Identifiler PCR Amplification Kit

TL;DR: Results support the use of the AmpFlSTR Identifiler PCR Amplification Kit for human identity and parentage testing and are developed in accordance with the standards of the forensic community as defined by the DNA Advisory Board.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simultaneous quantification of mitochondrial DNA copy number and deletion ratio: A multiplex real-time PCR assay

TL;DR: A unique multiplex assay which simultaneously provides assessments of mtDNA copy number and the proportion of genomes with common large deletions by targeting two mitochondrial sites and one nuclear locus is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-cancer effects of novel flavonoid vicenin-2 as a single agent and in synergistic combination with docetaxel in prostate cancer.

TL;DR: Investigations collectively provide strong evidence that VCN-2 is effective against CaP progression along with indicating that VCn-2 and DTL co-administration is more effective than either of the single agents in androgen-independent prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a D8S1179 primer binding site mutation and the validation of a primer designed to recover null alleles

TL;DR: A population study of Chamorros and Filipinos using short tandem repeat (STR) loci amplified with the AmpFlSTR Profiler Plus PCR amplification kit demonstrated an excess of observed homozygosity at the D8S1179 locus.
