A Profiling for Forensic and Kinship Cases Studies.

The GT InDel Detector is based on Insertion/Deletion (ID) polymorphism phenomenon an alternative approach to STR based human identification. Insertion/Deletion (InDel) mutations are common in the human genome. InDels can be from a single base pair to several hundred bases or even more. Sometimes these InDels are stable, non-disease linked genes or chromosome locations and the size differences are between 4-6 bp to enable amplifying several such InDels in one single multiplex PCR with rather short fragments. These fragments are distinguished from each other using fluorescence detection after capillary electrophoretic separation.

GT InDel Detector markers are designed in such a way that the distribution of loci covers most of the autosomal chromosomes. Markers heterozygosity and SNP in their primer sites were tested on several hundred DNA samples to reduce possible allele dropouts during PCR.

GT InDel Detector Kit comprises primers in a multiplex format which amplifies 30 bi-allelic insertion/deletion markers and AMXY as a sex-determination marker.

The kit is used for human profiling in complex forensic cases and paternity cases. The kit is also used on aged, old, and degraded DNA since most markers produce small fragments.

This kit is compatible with ABI 3500/xL and ABI 3130 platforms for detection and analysis.

Premium Features

Sample Profile

Compatibility​

This kit is compatible with Applied Biosystems™ 3500/xL, 3130/xl, and SeqStudio platforms for detection and analysis. GT InDel Detector performance has been tested on more than 400 samples.

The kit can be used on DNA extracted from various sources as well as DNA obtained using either hair roots, bone DNA, or direct sample to PCR (extraction free) like GT BLB (Blood Lysis Buffer), and filter papers (GT DBC or GT DBC Blue).

Kit Content

The kit contains all the necessary reagents and buffers for multiplex PCR (Box A) including Primer mix, PCR Master mix, and GT HS Taq DNA Pol. Also, the kit comes with GT InDel Detector Allelic Ladder, GTM5 Matrix Standard for calibrating the Genetic Analyzer as well as GT500 size standard (Box B).
