The Cuyahoga County Regional Forensic Science Laboratory (CCRFSL) prepared 18 DNA mixture samples. The number of contributors ranged from 2 through 10, with two samples per contributor number. To design the DNA mixtures, reference genotypes for a sample were randomly drawn from 20 preset male and female individuals of predominantly Caucasian descent. Mixture weights were randomly drawn from a uniform Dirichlet distribution; these designed mixture proportions are shown in Table 1.
CCRFSL generated the STR mixture data in their laboratory. DNA quantity was measured with Applied Biosystems® (AB, Foster City, CA) Quantifier® Duo quantification kit using a 7500 SDS Real‐Time PCR System. Each 0.5 ng DNA mixture sample was amplified using the PowerPlex® Fusion amplification system (Promega, Madison, WI).
A 0.5 μL volume of amplified DNA product was size‐separated using an AB 3500 genetic analyzer. The analyzer recorded electropherogram (EPG) data as .hid files. CCRFSL determined a ratio of 0.37 for 3130 to 3500 AB genetic analyzer relative fluorescence units (RFU). TrueAllele analysis multiplied peak heights by this ratio, rescaling 3500 data down to the 3130 levels specified in prior probability parameters.

Mesenteric arteries were dissected in ice cold PBS and stored at -20°C in RNAlater Tissue Storage Reagent (Sigma-Aldrich). RNA extraction was performed using the RNeasy micro kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). A quantity of 100 ng of total RNA were subjected to reverse transcription with the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription kit (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was performed with Sybr Green PCR master mix (Applied Biosystems, Foster, CA, USA) on using a LightCycler 480 Real-Time PCR System (Roche, Branchburg, NJ, USA). 7500 SDS Real-Time PCR system (Applied Biosystems). Relative expression was calculated according to the formula E = 2 -(Ct[Target] -Ct[Reference]) . All data were normalized to the Gusb, Hprt and Gapdh mRNA Gapdh, Hprt and Gusb were used as housekeeping genes. Analysis was not performed when Ct values exceeded 35. Results were expressed as: 2(Ct target-Ct housekeeping gene).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
