TLDR
A low viscosity polymer solution under investigation for use in ds DNA analysis by capillary electrophoresis is shown to be useful for the visualization of anomalies in migration of dsDNA fragments.Abstract:
Sequence-induced anomalous migration of double-stranded (ds) DNA in native gel electrophoresis is a well known phenomenon. The retardation of migration is more obvious in polyacrylamide compared with agarose gels, and is greatly affected by the concentration of the gel and the temperature. This anomalous migration results in a difference between calculated and actual sizes of the affected DNA fragments. A low viscosity polymer solution (DNA Fragment Analysis Reagent) under investigation for use in dsDNA analysis by capillary electrophoresis is shown to be useful for the visualization of anomalies in migration of dsDNA fragments. Comparable with traditional slab gel systems, the retardation effect, indicative of bent or curved DNA, is strongly dependent on polymer concentration and separation temperature. These dependencies have implications on the accurate sizing of dsDNA fragments with unknown sequences and secondary structures.read more

TL;DR: In a blinded study, urine samples from 25 patients with suspicious bladder lesions that had been identified cystoscopically were analyzed and microsatellite changes matching those in the tumor were detected in the urine sediment of 19 of the 20 patients who were diagnosed with bladder cancer.

Multiplexed capillary electrophoresis system
TL;DR: In this article, a side-entry optical excitation geometry for use in a multiplexed capillary electrophoresis system was proposed, where a charge-injection device is optically coupled to capillaries in the array such that the interior of a capillary is imaged onto only one pixel.

TL;DR: The precision of the 310 capillary electrophoresis system, coupled with software developed for automated genotyping of alleles based on the use of an allelie ladder, allows for accurate genotypesing of STR loci.

TL;DR: Comparative sizing of known CEPH samples performed showed the usefulness of the system for genotyping with standard deviations of 0.24 nucleotide, or better, and the presence of denaturants and, more importantly, operation at 60 degrees C was mandatory for high-precision and high-resolution sizing operation.

Viscosity‐adjustable block copolymer for DNA separation by capillary electrophoresis
TL;DR: In the investigation of F127 concentration and temperature effects on the performance of DNA separation in CE, it is found that the DNA electrophoretic migration behavior in the F127 gel‐like solution cannot be described by any one of the existing models.
