Abstract:
Instruments, devices and methods of analysis are provided which fully integrate a significant number of process steps in a continuous operation. Accurate positioning and full contact between components is also provided by the relative movement the designs allow. An effect interface between a low cost disposable cartridge or device and the instrument to process it is also detailed.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods to infer STR allelic genotype from SNPs in a genome by obtaining statistical probabilities for the association of a plurality of SNPs in a genome with a Short Tandem Repeat (STR) locus allele for the genome to obtain a SNP constellation association value.
