- the Polvmerase Chain Reaction by K.B. Mullis, F. Ferre, and Richard Gibbs (1994), publ. Birkhauser; Molecular Cloning (1988), Sambroock, Fritsh and Maniatis, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press) .
- the present invention prefers the PCR amplification technique (Mullis and Faloona, 1987) for preparing DNA for the device of the present invention
- other methods of amplification or cloning find utility for preparing the nucleic acid of the device (G. Walker, PCR Methods and Applications Vol. 3, pp.
- PCR provides the advantages of allowing minute amounts of DNA to be amplified to whatever quantity might be desired, simplicity of use, and economy of practice both in materials and labor.
- the present invention employs samples of nucleic acid of a known biological source affixed to the member.
- the device of the invention uses nucleic acid which has a level of specificity ranging from being unique for an individual of a biological source to being merely from a known biological source.
- an embodiment of the invention uses DNA obtained from a biological source which is not necessarily unique for that biological source, the DNA being a copy of a portion of that biological source's DNA which is common to other biological sources.
- the device of the invention comprises DNA, the DNA including sequences which have been characterized as being specifically from a known biological source.
- Methods are well known in the art for obtaining DNA sequences that are specific for a biological source, which methods and sequences are well known in the art for classifying and distinguish that biological source from all other biological sources (The Polvmerase Chain Reaction, by K.B. Mullis, F. Ferre, and Richard Gibbs (1994), publ. Birkhauser).
- the biological source of the DNA is identified by amplification with one or more primers of known origin.
- DNA obtained from a fossil specimen and suspected to be from a dinosaur is characterized and identified by amplification with degenerate avian and/or reptilian primers.
- Protocols for classifying the biological source of DNA using various probe and/or primer protocols are well known in the art of molecular archaeology/anthropology and molecular forensics (The Polvmerase Chain Reaction, by K.B. Mullis, F. Ferre, and Richard Gibbs (1994), publ. Birkhauser).
- the device of the present invention comprises a sample of DNA unique for the known individual of that biological source from whose tissue the DNA is derived directly or through amplification of the directly derived DNA.
- the device comprises a sample of DNA having a sufficient number of amplified polymorphic loci to be uniquely specific for an individual, such an individual being a human or a tissue, cellular, or body fluid remnant from an individual should that individual be deceased.
- the invention employs a strategy in which sufficient variability in the amplified DNA is obtained to produce a composite profile which is unique to an individual, except for that individual's onozygotic twin.
- the strategy relies on the knowledge that a number of loci in complex genomes are polymorphic and that DNA polymorphisms can be detected by PCR (Jeffreys et al., 1988) .
- PCR PCR-derived DNA sequence
- By amplifying a number of polymorphic DNA loci a DNA fingerprint is obtained (Risch and Devlin, 1992) which, like an individual's actual fingerprint, is highly specific for an individual.
- Geno ic Fingerprinting uses any of a number of techniques well known in the art for producing genomic fingerprints (Botstein et al.Am. J. Hum. Genet. 32:314- 331) .
- AP-PCR arbitrarily primed PCR method
- Sequence polymorphisms can be detected using AP-PCR and reproducible fingerprints of complex genomes can be generated. Divergence of even a fraction of a percent between two genomes often results in a different fingerprint pattern because a somewhat different set of sites in the genome have the best matches with the primers.
- PCR products that are shared between only some individuals act as polymorphic markers. Each primer gives a different pattern of AP-PCR products, each with the potential of detecting polymorphisms between strains.
- the present invention typically uses three primer sequences that are polymorphic in humans.
- Three typical AP-PCR primers include:
- primers typically give after amplification about forty amplicons of which seven on average will be polymorphic in humans. These three primers can be used alone or in pairwise combinations. In the pairwise reaction more than half the AP-PCR products are different from those produced by either oligo alone. Therefore, about 3 amplicons will represent new polymorphic sequences when the primers are used in pairwise combinations. Thus, with only three primers and their respective three pairwise combinations, an average of 30 sequence polymorphisms can be generated. These sequence polymorphisms which can be analyzed by sizing product using gel electrophoresis mostly correspond to deletion/insertion polymorphisms. Most of these markers are dimorphic (Jeffreys et al. 1988) . Assuming independence between these loci and a partition, on average, of 50:50 for the dimorphic markers in the human population, the chances that two individuals share the same DNA fingerprint using 30 sequence polymorphisms is about one in a billion.
- nucleic acid affixed to the member can be made even more unique or specific by mixing the AP-PCR derived nucleic acid with nucleic acid amplified from another region which is highly polymorphic, namely, mitochondrial DNA, as described below.
- the Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA Control Region) control region The hypervariable segments of the human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region have been amplified and reveal an enormous amount of variability, with 274 mtDNA types observed among 525 individuals by using 23 sequence-specific ol. onucleotide (SSO) probes (Stoneking et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 48:370-382 (1991)).
- SSO sequence-specific ol. onucleotide
- the variability at the level of the nucleotide sequence is much higher, making it almost unique for a given individual.
- the uniqueness of mtDNA at the nucleotide sequence level will allow the device of the invention to include highly specific nucleotide sequences.
- the invention achieves this level of uniqueness by using asymmetric PCR in which unequal primer ratios are used to generate single-stranded templates suitable for direct sequencing. While not restricted to the following primer, the invention contemplates using these mtDNA primers (ibid) :
- the device of the invention comprises a DNA fingerprint 12 of an individual affixed to the member 14 by preparing a mixture of DNAs derived from an individual.
- the device of the invention typically comprises about a million DNA molecules with an average size of about 200 base pairs (BP) .
- BP base pairs
- Each DNA fingerprint contains about 200 different DNA fragments.
- the mixture which includes AP-PCR loci and the mtDNA control region of an individual, is an absolutely unique DNA fingerprint for a given individual.
- Skin or Integument Dried or dead skin cells, ready to be sluffed off or already sluffed off. This type of material is easily obtained from around the finger nail or from the sole of the foot.
- Hair A shed hair provides up to 10 nanograms (ng) of genomic DNA. In a freshly-plucked hair, the root end may contain as much as 500 ng DNA. The hair shaft contains too little DNA to determine its quantity and condition. Recovery of purified DNA, however, usually yields no more than 200 ng DNA per freshly-plucked hair (Higuchi et al. 1988). There is less DNA in hair previously plucked because of DNA degradation by oxidation and other attacks of the environment. Only about 1 ng of DNA per hair would be available.
- Tissue Paraffin-embedded tissues obtained at autopsy or during surgical interventions are cut to give 10 micron sections and several sections provide enough material for DNA extraction (Shibata, 1988) .
- Bone/Teeth Teeth and bones, particularly those available from archaeological explorations, provide enough DNA for PCR. Such techniques are well known by those skilled in the art of molecular archaeology (The Polvmerase Chain Reaction, by K.B. Mullis, F. Ferre, and Richard Gibbs (1994) , publ. Birkhauser) . For non-human biological sources, in which the species is either extant or extinct, this small amount of DNA is readily obtainable either in tissues from various laboratories or commercial sources, or as isolated DNA, unamplified or amplified (George Poinar, Jr.. , Dept.
