    Author: Tang JP, Wu D, Zhang C, Zhou HG.
    Journal: Fa Yi Xue Za Zhi; 2007 Aug; 23(4):304-6. PubMed ID: 17896528.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To detect low copy number of DNA samples by using a newly launched commercial miniSTR detection kit (MiniFiler) in forensic practice. METHODS: Low concentration and/or challenged forensic DNA samples were analyzed according to protocols provided by the manufacturer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, USA). RESULTS: DNA samples as low as 10 pg could be amplified by MiniFiler kit, and the optimal DNA quantity was 40 pg or above. CONCLUSION: MiniFiler kit can be used for analysis of low copy number STR.
