ABSTRACT
Objective A new methodology was established to efficiently obtain the genotype of DNA remained on standard long gun. Methods Direct PCR and silicon membrane method were combined to detect DNA polymorphism of a total of 240 samples at 5 different positions from 48 standard long guns. Results Combining direct PCR and silicon membrane method, we obtained full DNA profiles in 42 out of 48 standard long guns, with a detection rate up to 87.50%. Conclusion The results demonstrate that the combination of direct PCR and silicon membrane method provide a quick and accurate way to detect DNA polymorphism on the standard long gun.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES@#To detect the genotype of ABO blood group by SNaPshot technology.@*METHODS@#DNA were extracted from the peripheral blood samples with known blood groups （obtained by serology） of 107 unrelated individuals in Yunnan. Six SNP loci of the 261th, 297th, 681th, 703th, 802th, and 803th nucleotide positions were detected by SNaPshot Multiplex kit, and relevant genetics parameters were calculated.@*RESULTS@#In 107 blood samples, the allele frequencies of types A, B, OA, and OG were 0.355 1, 0.168 2, 0.230 0 and 0.247 6, respectively, while that of types AG and cis AB were not detected. The genotyping results of ABO blood group were consistent with that of serologic testing.@*CONCLUSIONS@#SNaPshot technology can be adapted for genotyping of ABO blood group.

ABSTRACT
Objective Acquiring genetic information of Y-SNPs and Y-STRs genetic makers from samples with the surname of Kong, which is useful for exploring the correlation between surname and Y chromosome in forensic applications studies.Methods Two multiplex genotyping assays and SNaPshot assay were used to analyze 255 unrelated male blood samples who share the same surname Kong and 330 unrelated male blood samples obtained randomly. 17 Y-STRs were typed for the surname Kong population samples. The software Arlequin 3.5.1.2 and the program Network 4.6.1.1 were used for data statistical analysis.Results 13 haplogroups were observed. The highest haplogroup frequency in the two populations were O3a2c1a-M117 (21.57%, 14.85%). 196 haplotypes in Kong population deifned by 17 Y-STRs locus were obtained and the haplotype diversity was 0.9939. 14-12-25-28-19-15-12-19-12-11-12-22-12-11-14-10-19 is the typical haplotype. Median Joining algorithm and Mismatch Distribution were adopted to analyze the Y-STR haplotye under haplogroup O3-M122, and the result shows that there are two “central star” distribution. Conclusion Combined with Y-SNP and Y-STR analysis showed that the Kong population had experienced complicated exchanges and expansion or continued growth, which has more than one surname origin. Hence, its population genetic structure and historical differences have potential applications in forensic science.
