The X-chromosomal short tandem repeats analysis in Thai population

Human variations in the X chromosome are useful tools in studying human genetic diversity and individual identification. Five X chromosomal short tandem repeats (X-STRs) multiplex system (DXS8378, DXS101, HPRTB, DXS8377 and DXS10011) were amplified in one single polymerase chain reaction. ...

The detection of HLA-B27 allele types by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction with melting curve analysis

Human leucocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) is a major histocompatibility complex class 1 molecule that is strongly associated with ankylosing spondylitis. The polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) is currently used for the discrimination of HLA-B27 allele types resulting from single base substitutions....
