Abstract excerpt
Multiple displacement amplification (MDA) can generate large quantities of genomic DNA product from small amounts of template. We investigated the ability of MDA to amplify samples containing very small amounts of target DNA (5 pg to 1 ng) in the presence of a second, larger DNA sample for downstream short tandem repeat (STR) multiplex genotyping. We observed that STR amplification success of the minor fraction...
