Purpose:Extraction and successful PCR amplification of DNA from humanremains in historical and forensic cases have great importance. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficiency of a method of DNA extraction and PCR amplification of embalmed dried human cadaveric skeletal fragments and teeth specimens from Sokoto, Northwestern Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: The efficiency of a method of DNA extraction and PCR amplification was tested on thirteen (13) embalmed dried human cadaveric skeletal fragments and nine (9) teeth specimens from Sokoto, Northwestern Nigeria were used in the study.
Results: Of the 13 embalmed dried human cadaveric skeletal fragments, 12 (92.3%) samples amplified with apparent bands. For the 9 embalmed dried human teeth specimens, 7 (78%) samples amplified with apparent bands.
<span>Conclusion: The study has shown that our method of DNA extraction and PCR amplification was efficient on embalmed dried human cadaveric skeletal fragments and teeth specimens, from Sokoto, Northwestern Nigeria.</span>
The human skin is the protective layer of the human body against the external forces like the temperature, sharp objects, microbes, fungi and other related materials that can penetrate and weaken the body however, the integumentary system prevents any harm come to the organism. The dermis is the skin area which has different structures that perform different functions.
B. outer covering
b. it preforms all functions
Answer:
Sequential or integrated screening
Cell-free fetal DNA testing
Proteins in your blood that can mean your baby has a higher risk of birth defects
Explanation:
Sequential or integrated screening
Sequential screening is a test that uses a mix of ultrasound and blood tests to look birth defects at 10 and 13 weeks of pregnancy.
Integrated screening is similar and is done at around 12 weeks and is slightly more accurate
Cell-free fetal DNA testing is testing the baby's DNA that ends up in the mothers blood for signs of birth defects
