The choice of primer sequences and annealing temperatures also ensures the specificity of the PCR. Analysts often use a program called BLAST to ensure that their primers will only bind to the intended targets, and not others. The BLAST program (on the NCBI website) allows the analyst to search the human DNA molecule to see if any other stretches of sequence in the DNA molecule are similar enough to the primer0 s binding site to allow the primer to also anneal there. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-Based Tests During each PCR cycle, each double-stranded DNA molecule that is present at the beginning of the cycle will provide two single-stranded templates for the synthesis of two new strands of DNA.
Nucleotides in length, and can be repeated dozens, or even hundreds, of times. The VNTRs that are used for forensic work are highly polymorphic—even more so than most STRs. There are so many different alleles for each VNTR that each allele’s frequency, and each genotype’s frequency, is very low. It only takes a panel of 6–8 VNTR markers to provide the discriminative power of 12–15 STRs. Because of their large size, however, a VNTR analysis involves procedures that are considerably slower and more labor-intensive than those required for an STR analysis.
