Study on the construction of standard D12S375 allelic ladder and its genetic polymorphism in Chinese Han, Hui and Wei populations / 中国法医学杂志

ABSTRACT

sTo resolve the problem of the accuracy and standardization of STR PCR typing in forensic science practice,we have designed a new method to produce standard D12S375 allelic ladder.Seven different PCR amplified D12S375 allelic fragments were isolated from the gel,eluted into the distilled water and reamplified by PCR.The purified allelic fragments were then blunt end subcloned individually into the pUC plasmid vectors and transfected into competent E.coli DH5? TM cells.The sequencing results confirmed that the size and the constructure of the inserts were correct.The recombinant plasmids DNA with 7 inserts were then used as templates for reamplification to generate D12S375 standard ladder, with which the genetic polymorphisms of D12S375 locus in Chinese Han population in Chengdu,Hui population in Gansu and Wei population in Xinjiang were studied.
