    Analysis of touched DNA from crime scenes is fundamental in forensic DNA laboratories. Many factors affect the recovery of DNA from touched surfaces and then affect the quality of the final results.  The aim of this work is studying the possibility of recovery suitable amount of DNA from ltouched portable computer. The computer was cleaned with 10% Bleach then touch and DNA collected for extraction by Organic method and two STR regions D5S818 (115-163bp) and FGA (308-464bp) were amplified. The results showed that it is possible to isolate a proper amount of DNA from touched portable computer where it was amplified and then analyzed by Agarose gel electrophoresis. The conclusion is that portable computer is suitable source for forensic analysis.

Various methods of nucleic acid (NA) extraction were investigated with the aim of developing a quantitative method of NA extraction from five representative strains of biomining microorganisms. The process of removing cells from mineral surfaces, lysing microorganisms, precipitating NA and purifying RNA were analysed. The success of each method was examined spectrophotometrically, by agarose gel electrophoresis and PCR or quantitative real time PCR (qPCR). The most important step was shown to be cellular lysis, which principally impacted on the quantity of NA extracted from each strain. The quantity and quality of extracted NA was highly dependent on the method of NA precipitation. This study resulted in the development of a NA extraction method that reliably and reproducibly extracted NA from five strains of biomining microorganisms.

Complete genome of chili has not been reported.The first step to study the genome is DNA isolation, so it is necessary to optimize the protocol to get an optimum DNA. This research aimed to optimize chili DNA isolation by variate the quantity and quality of chili leaves as row material and variate the grinding technique. DNA isolation was done using commercial kit without liquid nitrogen, and analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The results showed that frozen chili leaf yields more DNA than fresh leaf, 0,1 g of leaf got optimum DNA, and grinding in mortar was better than in microtube.   Key words: DNA,  isolation, Capsicum annuum

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a widely used technique in the field of molecular biology to rapidly make very large number of copies of a specific DNA sample for detailed studies. The success of the technique however is dependent on the on the quality, i.e purity of the extracted DNA specimen. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of extracted DNA from pectinase producing yeast to determine the suitability of the extraction method to produce pure extract without non-inhibiting substances.In this study, DNA extracts from six (06) isolates of pectinase-producing yeasts were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed using NanoDrop spectrophotometry and agarose gel electrophoresis methods. These analyses showed that the concentration of DNA extracts from the isolates evaluated by the NanoDrop spectrophotometric method ranged from 403.8 to 1082.4 ng/µL and the purity index A 260/280 was between 2.03 and 2.11. In sum, agarose gel electrophoresis showed that the intensity of the DNA bands was irregular and not necessarily in line with the data provided by the NanoDrop spectrophotometry.

SummaryA luminescence assay was adapted for detection of von Willebrand factor multimers subsequent to SDS-agarose gel electrophoresis and electroblotting onto nitrocellulose. The method is as fast as chromogenic detection methods and appears to be as sensitive as autoradiography without the disadvantages of the latter.
