Methods of DNA Identification

Methods of desoxyribonucleic acid IdentificationTo isolate deoxyribonucleic acid from consanguinity, spitting, buccal swab and betel pepper tidy sum by phenol-chloroform method and chelex method and compargon the efficacy of twain the methods. To carry out childbed digestion of the desoxyribonucleic acid samples isolate from above mentioned ejaculates use the restriction enzyme EcoRI (GAATTC) and identify persons establish on the pattern of restriction banding and to ascertain the pertinency of the restriction digestion in forensicsMATERIALS AND METHODS Blood, spit, betel dog pound and buccal swab were collected from 15 patients and deoxyribonucleic acid isolation was done by phenol-chloroform method and chelexmethod. deoxyribonucleic acid fingerprinting was carried out apply EcoRI restriction enzyme.RESULTSdesoxyribonucleic acid could be extracted from resiimputables of spitting, deoxyribonucleic acid fingerprinting done with the set-apart desoxyribonucleic acid was able to match with those of individual(a)s. Chelex method was anchor to be more efficient than the Phenol-chloroform method chance on WORDS Betel Quid, Chelex method, desoxyribonucleic acid,desoxyribonucleic acid fingerprinting,Phenol chloroform methodIntroductiondesoxyribonucleic acid fingerprintinghas ascertained an increasingly strident role towards decision making in judiciary. deoxyribonucleic acid tests obtain helped convict suspects, to exonerate suspects or disquieted previous convictions. Scientific evidences such as fingerprints, product line, semen, shreds of clothing, hair, weapons, tire tracks, and other physical evidence at the offence scene can be a more riveting to a tribunal than the testimony of an eyewitness. DNA is more suitable because DNA remains scathe lessin ch onlyenging environments where such evidence is found. The DNA tittle holds an impressive dependability to with place upright time. 1DNA profiling compares the DNA take apart lengths and patterns. The isolated DNA from the samples is fragmented using a restriction enzyme. Then the length of the resulting fragments is determined by ionophoresis and comparedby a visual interpretation of the pattern of DNA bands. 2DNA can be sourced from fresh agate line, fresh or dried military man buccalswabs, soft tissue, tongue and salivary stains. Optimizing the methodology in DNA lineage from dissimilar sources do been tried by many studies. Minute quantities of saliva allows establishing DNAprofile. 3DNA has been proven to be isolated from cadre samples from objects that was in contact with the body and from sources like chewing gums, cigarettes, turn marks in foods, among others.Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis provides details of the DNA which is referred as a DNA fingerprint. As DNA is unique to every individual, analyzing the sequence helps in identification of specific patterns of each individual. DNA profile is considered as valid evidence i n the court of law for paternity disputes and human identification. Standardization of DNA origination technique will improve the reliability and speed up sample processing time. 4-6Limited availableness of biological samples in a crime scenechallenges the procedure of extraction , characterization and analysis of DNA. Furthermore, difficulty arises in retrieving DNA from stains and degraded samples which provide contaminated or poor qualityDNA. Hence, purification of DNA from samples is still a significant step in obtaining useful genotypes. Notwithstanding, tremendous advances have been made in the recent propagation in DNA testing. 7Chewed betel quid (BQ) stains are encountered frequently on crime scenes in Southeast Asian countries. Though the quid presents as an beta biological evidence, the forensic analysis using betel quid as an evidence has been impeded due to difficulty in extraction of human DNA . Hence, constituting a definite method for extracting DNA from chewed Bet el quid residues is of paramount importance. 8 spittle found on victims of several violent crimes is a potential source of DNA. They can be vulcanised from bite marks, cigarette butts, betel quid, postage stamps, envelopes and other objects. However , salivary stains usually dry up easily becoming invisible, making recognition and collection difficult.Among the various biological sources available, salivary analysis have great discriminatory power and can be incorporated into a criminal investigation . temporary expedient of DNA extraction procedures will improve its reliability and also help to expedite the process. The present view aims to isolate DNA from crosscurrent, saliva (under divers(prenominal) conditions) by phenol chloroform method and chelex method and to keep the efficacy of these methods in extraction of DNA from traces of saliva. 9,10ISOLATION OF DNAFROM BLOOD AND SALIVA BY PHENOL anaesthetize METHOD The DNA was extracted with an passable volume of phenol chlo roform isoamyl alcohol. This mixture was centrifuged at ampere- due south00rpm for 5 minutes. The sedimentary phase was collected and extracted with chloroform isoamyl alcohol mixture and centrifuged at degree centigrade00rpm for 5 minutes. The supernatant was transferred to a newfangled microfuge tobacco pipe and 0. 6 volume of isopropanol was added. The spongy white precipitate was transferred to a microfuge render and added equal volume of ethanol was added. Then it was centrifuged at 10000rpm at room temperature for 10 minutes. The supernatant was drained and to the shot 100L of TE buffer was added stored at 4C.ISOLATION OF DNAFROM BLOOD AND SALIVA BY CHELEX METHOD0. 5 ml of whole line was collected in 2 ml tube and the cells are harvested by centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 3 min. at 4C. The supernatant was discarded. 0. 8 ml TBP buffer was added to the collection tube, vortexed gently, then centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 3 minutes, supernatant was discarded. The next stepwas go along if the blood pellet looks mauve 0. 5 ml of TBM buffer was added to the tube, and vortexed followed by addition of 3 Lof proteinase K and incubated at 55C for 30 minutes. The sample was centrifuged for 2 minutes at five hundred0 rpm and the supernatant saved to 2 ml tube and then added 260 L of absolute ethanol. The mixture was applied to EZ-10 column, centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 1 minute discarded the flow in the collection tube. 500 L of wash out solution was added and centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 1 minute. This step was repeated spin at 8000 rpm for an extra minute to remove residual amount of wash solution. The column was placed into a clean 1. 5 ml microfuge tube and 30 L of elution buffer was added into the center part of membrane . The tube was incubated at 50C for 2 minutes centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 1 minute to elute the DNA from the columnThe receiveds and samples were removed from the freezer and thawed. In a separate sterile 1. 5 ml microfuge tube for each standard/sample, 10 l of DNA was mixed with 990 l of D. I. piss and vortexed . The solution was allowed to stand for 10 minutes to ensure the complete diffusion of DNA throughout the solution. This represents a 1100 dilution of the standards and the DNA samples.B. DNAquantificationThe DNA sample was briefly vortexed and the solution wastransfered to the cuvette of the spectrophotometer with care not to create bubbles. The cuvette is inserted into the spec ensuring the chasten face of the cuvette is in line the light beam. . An absorbance reading appears on the screen . Reading is continued until all standards and samples have been quantified. The concentration of DNA in the sample is determined according to the conversion factor (A260 of 1. 0 = 50 g ml-1 DNA). The concentration of DNA in the sample can be read as g/mL using the conversion factor and dilution factor .RESTRICTION DIGESTIONRestriction enzyme buffer was vortexed out front pipetting to ensure that it was good-mixed and was added to the tube . Appropriate amount of DNA to be cut wasvortexed before pipetting to ensure that it was well-mixed and was added to the tube. subsequently vortexingthe enzyme to ensure that it was well-mixed 1 L of enzyme EcoRIwas added. The mixture is placed in thermal cycler (Eppendorf) for2-3 hour incubation at 37C . To heat inactivate the enzyme the mixture is maintained at 80C for 20 min. The mixture is kept at 4C until the reaction mixture is out of the thermal cycler.Agarose change Electrophoresis ProtocolPreparation of the agarose gelatine1. 25 g Agarose powder was taken in 500 ml flask and 125 ml of TAE Buffer was added to it. The mixture is melted in hot water bath till a clear solution forms. The solution is allowed to cool to a temperature of 50-55C by periodic swirling to achieve even cooling. To it ethidium bromide solution was added. The ends of the casting tray are sealed with two layers of memorialize. The combs are placed in the gel casting tray. The melted agarose solution was poured into the casting tray and allowed to cool until it is solid. The comb and the tape are removed carefully. The gel is placed in the electrophoresis chamber. 2-3 mm of TAEBuffer is added over the gel.Loading the gel6 l of 6X Sample Loading Buffer is added to each DNA sample containing tubes. 20 l of each sample is pipetted into separate wells in the gel. 10 l of the DNA ladder standard is pippeted into one well of each row on the gel.Running the gelThe lid is place on the gel box, the electrode wires are connected to the power supply. The power supply is turned on to about 100 volts. To ensure the correct direction of the current, the movement of the blue loading dye is checked. The power supply is continued till the blue dye approaches the end of the gel. The wires are disconnected from the power supply. The lid is removed from the electrophoresis chamber. Using gloves, gel is carefully removed and observed in a transilluminator for the DNA bands.R ESULTSIsolation of DNA was done from blood ,fresh saliva, saliva stored at -20C, saliva stored at 37C for 24hrs ,buccal swab and betel quid by both the phenol-chloroform method and the chelex method. . Gel electrophoresis of the isolated genomic DNA was carried out on 0. 8% agarose gel. (figure 1)After restriction digestion electrophoresis gel is prepared to unpick and to identify the turn of events of bands. DNA samplesobtained from blood were labelled as Aband subsequently as Bb,Cb, DbEbas shown in table 2. DNA obtained from fresh saliva were labelled as As,Bs, Cs, Ds,Es. DNA obtained from saliva stored at -20 degree were labeled as AfsBfsCfsDfs. Efs. DNA obtained from saliva stored at room temperature were labelled as Ads,BdsCdsDdsEdsDNA obtained from bloodof 5 individuals was made to stretch in the well marked 1 to 5 in a uniform manner ie DNA obtained from the offshoot individual named as Ab, was made to go by in well No. 1 . DNA obtained from second individual named as Bb was made to come off in well No. 2 DNA obtained from triad individual named as Cb was made to lam in well No . 3. DNA obtained from quartetth individual named as Db was made to run in as well No- 4. DNA obtained from Fifth individual namedEbwas made to run in well No. 5. (table 2)But while running DNA obtained from saliva of different sources the array was changed randomly. For example DNA isolated from fresh saliva for the initiatory individual (As) kinda of being run in the low well ie well No -6 was made to run in the third well( well no 8) and DNA isolated from saliva stored at -20 degree for the first individual(Afs) instead of being run in the first well ie well No-11was made to run in the third well (well No. 13)and DNA isolated from saliva stored at room temperature for the first individual(Ads) instead of being run in the first well ie well No-16 was made to run in the twenty percent well (well No. 20). Likewise DNA isolated from different sources of saliva of dif ferent individuals made to run in different wells and the number of bands take a crapd is determine .From the figure 1 it could be identified that the well number 1,8 ,13,20 corresponding to DNA isolated from the first individual from various sources named Ab AsAfs Ads identified by the yellow cursor has uniformly three bands.For the well number 2,7,14,19 corresponding to DNA isolated from the second individual from various sources named BbBsBfsBds identified by the blue arrow has uniformly 6 bands .variousDNA isolated from the fifth individual from various sources namedEbEsEfsEds identified by the green arrow has uniformly 4 bands . From the above figure itcould be identified that the well number 1,10 corresponding to DNA isolated from different source for the first individual named Ab,AbS,identified by the yellow arrow has uniformly four bands.For the well number 2 and 6 corresponding to DNA isolated from second individual from blood and buccal swab named BbBbSl identified by th e blue arrow has uniformly 6 bands . For the well number 3 and 7corresponding to DNA isolated from third individual from blood and buccal swab namedCbCbS identified by the red arrow has uniformly 5 bands . For the well number 4and 8 corresponding to DNA isolated from fourth individual from blood and buccal swab named DbDbs,identified by the aqua arrow has uniformly 7 bands.For the well number 5and 9 corresponding to DNA isolated from fifth individual from blood and buccal swab named EbEbsE identified by the green arrow has uniformly 8 bands .This shows that DNA obtained from an individual from blood and buccal swab produce uniform banding pattern. This shows that DNA obtained from an individual from various source produce uniform banding pattern . Identification of individual from traces of saliva which could be used for forensic lotion -Extraction of DNA from Buccal swab. Restriction digestion with Ecor-1 from extracted DNA obtained from above mentioned source has been done for id entifying individuals. Blood was used as a control and compared with DNA bands from buccal swab. A total of 10 wells were created. DNA obtained from blood wer e labeled as Ab, Bb,Cb, Db,Ebas shown in tab 3. DNA obtained from Buccal swab were labeled as Abs,Bbs, Cbs, Dbs, Ebs. DNA obtained from blood from 5 individuals was made to run in the well marked 1 to 5 in a uniform manner.But while running DNA obtained from buccal swab the order was changed randomly. For example DNA isolated from buccal swab for the first individual (Abs) instead of being run in the first well ie well No -6 was made to run in the fifth well( well no 10). Likewise DNA isolated from buccal swab of different individuals was made to run in different wells and the number of bands produced is identifiedDifferent methods of DNA extraction is been followed in that, most(prenominal) widely used is phenol chloroform method . Many new methods of DNA extraction have been tried. The chelex method is one among then . To know the efficacy of the chelex method it was compared with that of phenol chloroform method. Of the two methods study the chelex method turn up to be more easy to handle and less time consuming in addition to yieds higher amount of DNA and is proved by quantification with U. V spectrometer as shown in fig. 2.DISCUSSIONForensic odontology is a branch of forensics which analyses stains and organic liquids from the oral cavity or its contents, bite mark comparison, investigation of trauma and oral injuries such as personal injury cases, and dental malpractice. The positive requirement of a criminal investigation is that the victim and aggressor should be positively identified. Forensic dentistry aids in the forensic process by comparing the deceaseds dentition with that of previous dental records or by facilitating to shape the profile of an individual in terms of age at the time of death, depend on and phylogeny to aid in identification. 11,12Saliva has been a potential source o f identification and is usually found in bite marks, cigarette butts, betel quid, postage stamps, envelopes and other objects. The first phase of the study think to isolate DNA from saliva (under different conditions), by phenol-chloroform method and chelex method and compare the yield with that of blood . The second objective was to find out efficacy of these methods in extraction of DNA from traces of saliva ie from Buccal swab, and from Betel quid and which could be used for forensic application. 8The presence of residues are well important as biological evidences, but forensic analysis of such evidences has been hindered by failures in extraction of human DNA. Consequently, it is indispensable in forensic science to establish a received method for extracting DNA from samples collected at the crime site. The most important objective was whether individuals can be identifed from samples of different source and to ascertain the applicability of the restriction digestion in foren sics. 13,14Blood was taken as control, saliva was divided into 3 parameters ie from fresh saliva, from saliva stored at -20 degree for24 hr from saliva stored in room temperature for 24 hrs were obtained . Identification of individual has been done with restriction enzyme EcoRI. . The isolated DNA was digested using the restriction enzyme EcoRI(GAATTC)The digested DNA was run on 1% agarose gel electrophoresis and the bands produced in each individuals DNA were scored and is proved that identification of individual can also be done by DNA fingerprinting or profiling.Agarose gel electrophoresis separates DNA fragments according to their size. The most important objective was whether individuals can be identified from samples of different source and to ascertain the applicability of the restriction digestion in forensics. 16DNA fingerprinting is a technique that is used to represent like and unlike DNA that is present in different individuals. home sequences which show significant var iation from one individual to another are taken into consideration. 17The most important objective of the study was to ascertain whether individuals can be identified from samples of different source and to ascertain the applicability of the restriction digestion in forensics and the last objective was toCompare the DNA yield from manual and kit method.To prove that DNA could be extracted from traces of saliva , Buccal swab and Beetal quid was used . DNA could be extracted from buccal swab,beetal quid and quantification was done with U. V spectrometer. Comparison of DNA isolated from all the samples collected from all the individual using two different procedures has been done and comparison of yield of different sources showed the kit method to be more effective .Use of biological evidences like saliva, buccal swab and betel quid are compromised due to the quandary in extraction of human DNA. The present study had proved to establish a reliable method for extracting DNA from sample s collected from different sources of saliva and from traces of salivary stains which was comparable to bloodin proving identification. Samples collected from different sources of saliva and from traces of salivary stains can also be assessed by DNA fingerprinting or profiling which is ground on the fact that DNA is unique to every individual .
