Popis: A small and inexpensive thermal cycler (PCR machine), known as the MiniPCR TM Mini8 ThermalCycler (Amplyus, Cambridge, MA, USA), was developed. In this study, the performance of this PCR machinewas compared with the GeneAmp ® PCR system 9700 (Applied Biosystems) using four autosomal short tandemrepeat (STR) kits, a Y-chromosome STR kit, and a mitochondrial DNA HV1/HV2 sequence analysis. Thesensitivity and stochastic effects of the STR multiplex kits and the quality of the DNA sequence analysis weresimilar between the two PCR machines. The MiniPCR TM Mini8 Thermal Cycler could be used for analysesat forensic DNA laboratories and crime scenes. The cost of the PCR is so economical that school laboratoriesand individuals could use the machines.요약: 최근 손안에 들어올 정도로 크기가 작아 범죄현장 등에서 사용이 가능하며, 다른 일반적인 장비들에 비해 가격이 1/10이하로 저렴하여 TM누구나 사용할 수 있는 MiniPCR mini8 Thermal Cycler (Amplyus,Cambridge, MA, USA)가 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 DNA감식에 일반적으로 사용되고 네 가지 종류의 상염색체 STR 다중증폭 키트들과 한 종류의 Y 염색체 STR 증폭키트, 그리고 미토콘드리아 DNA HV1/HV2의 염기서열 분석법을 사용하여 MiniPCR
