Results and Discussion of STR Analysis by Mass Spectrometry
National Institute od Justice
In the course of this work, thousands of data points were collected
using STR markers of forensic
interest verifying that GeneTrace's
mass spectrometry technology works.
During this same time, tens of thousands of data points were gathered
across hundreds of different microsatellite markers from corn and soybean
as part of an ongoing plant genomics
partnership with Monsanto Company
(St. Louis, MO). Whether the DNA
markers used come from humans or
plants, the characteristics described
below apply when analyzing polymorphic repeat loci.
