Abstract
The analysis of genomic DNA is widely-used for research, forensic and diagnostic purposes. Here we describe reliable methods for isolation of cell-free DNA and cellular DNA from urine. Both DNA fractions are suitable for PCR and Methylation-Specific PCR (MSP) amplification, leading to consistent and reproducible results. A kinetics analysis de- scribes the decline of efficiency of MSP performed with urinary DNA which had been stored at room temperature with and without proteinase K for various time periods.
期刊介绍:
The Open Biomarkers Journal is an Open Access online journal, which publishes original full-length, short research articles and reviews on biomarkers in clinical, medical and pharmaceutical research. The coverage includes biomarkers of disease, new biomarkers, exposure to drugs, genetic effects, and applications of biomarkers. The Open Biomarkers Journal, a peer reviewed journal, aims to provide the most complete and reliable source of information on current developments in the field. The emphasis will be on publishing quality articles rapidly and freely available to researchers worldwide.
