DNA amplified from tissues exposed to various environments via competitive PCR
Published in TB and Outbreaks Week, February 1st, 2005
"Competitive PCR assays were established for the mitochondrial DNA hypervariable region I and the human amelogenin locus. Using these assays, the copy numbers of DNA participating in PCR (amplifiable DNA) were quantified in tissues exposed to different environments," scientists writing in the journal Science & Justice report.
"Human ribs, skin and nails were left in three exposure conditions (in the open air, in soil and in water). The amounts of amplifiable DNA in these tissues were quantified during a time period of up to 2 months.
