The following is a description of which method. Patients DNA was isolated and cut with HaeIII. Product of the restriction digest was resolved by gel electrophoresis and transferred to a membrane. Then the membrane was exposed to hybridization probes, and the resulting band pattern was compared with that seen in another sample of DNA.

Which of the following polymorphisms can be used to compare DNA samples derived from males but not females?

Which of the following STRs is a Y-STR?

A child has disputed paternity. The child has the following STR haplotype: TPOX = 7/8; D5S818 = 11/12; D13S317 = 9/10; vWA = 11/12; D21S11 = 27/28. Alleged Father 1 has the following STR haplotype: TPOX = 6/10; D5S818 = 9/13; D13S317 = 9/14; vWA = 14/16; D21S11 = 30/33. What can be said of Alleged Father 1?

A woman has been raped by an unknown man. Which of the following laboratory procedures can be used to more accurately analyze residual DNA left by the man in an effort to identify him?

DNA found at the scene of the crime was determined to have one peak at 212 bp at the amelogenin locus. The source of this DNA is which of the following?

STR analysis is performed on bone marrow donor-recipient pairs prior to transplantation for which of the following reasons?

STR analysis was performed on a bone marrow donor and recipient pair with the following results. Which loci are informative?

Bone marrow has been transplanted into a recipient. STR analysis was performed on whole blood from the recipient 6 months after the transplant by PCR, followed by capillary gel electrophoresis with fluorescence measurement of amplicons. For the TPOX locus, the donor and recipient do not share alleles. The fluorescence of the TPOX locus for the donor peak was 15693, and the fluorescence of the TPOX locus for the recipient peak was 5329. What is the percentage of recipient cells remaining?

Two people have what percentage of DNA sequence that differs between them?

Two middle-age women who had been adopted into different families as infants discover circumstantially that they may have the same biological mother. Which of the following analyses would give the best information toward proving their maternal lineage?

Consider the following STR analysis: Which of the child alleles are inherited form the father?

Basked on the results which of the alleged fathers (AF) is the father?

A child and an alleged father (AF) share alleles with the following paternity index: What is the combined paternity index from these three loci?

With 50% prior odds, what is the probability of paternity from these three loci?

What is a traditional definition of a polymorphism?

Which of the following genomic variations is the hardest to detect?
