A Novel Droplet Digital PCR Human mtDNA Assay for Global Fecal Source Tracking

2019-10-06

Abstract excerpt

Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) provides a promising target for microbial source tracking because it is unique to humans and universal across human individuals. We developed a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay, hCYTB484, targeting the cytochrome b gene of the human mtDNA and compared the performance of the hCYTB484 assay with a widely used assay targeting human-associated Bacteroides , the HF183/BacR287 assay.
