Os primeiros módulos do SIIMP: Genética, Toxico...
Internal Validation of the Investigator 26Plex QS Amplification Kit: a high-thr...
Cardoso, Paula; Serra, Armando; Bogas, Vanessa; Balsa, Filipa; Lopes, Virginia; Dario, Rita; Porto, Maria João; Amorim, António; Corte Real, F.The Investigator® 26plex QS Amplification Kit, from QIAGEN, provides reliable and rapid DNA profiles while enabling the multiplex amplification of 24 STRs, 2 Quality Sensors and a gender-determining marker, Amelogenin. The Quality Sensors incorporated in this kit provide insight into the sample quality and the PCR's success while alerting to the presence of inhibitors. Through an extensive internal validation s...

Gouveia, Nair; Lopes, Virginia; Porto, Maria João; Bento, Ana; Andrade Sampaio, Lisa; Serra, Armando; Balsa, Filipa; Bogas, Vanessa; São Bento, MartaPaternity test results can sometimes evidence incompatibilities in the allelic transmission from parents to children, such as the presence of a single exclusion in one specific genetic marker, revealing a mismatch between the genetic profiles of the biological parent and the offspring. In these cases, it is important to determine whether the exclusion could be the result of a mutation or other factors as null o...
Reverse body fluid identification workflow: a direct to DNA Approach
Porto, Maria João; Ferreira, Joana; Bento, Ana Margarida; Bogas, Vanessa; Lopes, Virginia; Sampaio, Lisa; Gouveia, Nair; Corte Real Gonçalves, FranciscoWhen forensic DNA laboratories receive evidence from a crime scene their first task is to check for the presence of biological material, namely blood, semen or saliva; the same principle is applied to clothing or swabs related to victims from sexual assault cases. Examination of the exhibits by naked eye or using a forensic light source is done in order to detect the presence of body fluid stains. Many laborato...
