A novel droplet digital PCR human mtDNA assay for fecal source tracking
26 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
Human mitochondrial DNA provides a promising target for fecal source tracking because it is unique and intrinsic to humans. We developed a TaqMan chemistry assay, hCYTB484, targeting the cytochrome b gene of the human mitochondrial genome on a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) platform and compared the performance of hCYTB484 with the HF183/BacR287 assay, a widely used assay targeting human-associated Bacteroides. For...
