Efficient DNA database laboratory strategy for high through-put STR typing of reference samples

 Published in 2001

Parson,W.; Steinlechner,M.; DNA intelligence databases were installed successfully in various countries during the past few years. It is a general trend that laboratories performing STR analysis for DNA databases have to adjust to increased sample through-put, especially when dealing with a high number of reference samples. In contrast to routine forensic casework analysis, where samples of suspects and unknown samples are interpreted with regard to the specific circumstances of the case and are kept distinctly apart from other cases, DNA databases consist of single, primarily unlinked DNA profiles.

Extremely high origin of the right coronary artery from the ascending aorta

 Published in 2001

Piegger,J.; Kovacs,P.; Ambach,E.;

Coronary artery anomalies, especially variations in the level of origin, are frequent. In most cases, the origin lies just a few millimeters superior to the supravalvular ridge; ectopic origins of more than one centimeter above this border are rare. We report a case in which the right coronary artery arises from the ascending aorta 38 mm above the supravalvular ridge
