Description

Method for extracting free edge nuclear DNA of nail and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and in particular relates to a method for extracting nuclear DNA from free edges of nails and application thereof.
Background
Forensic physical evidence is a branch science of forensic science, is a science for researching and applying life science technology to solve the problem of biological detection material identification related to human body in cases, and is to prove the fact of the cases by the components and characteristics of the biological detection material, wherein the biological detection material generally comprises blood, semen, vaginal secretion, saliva, amniotic fluid and marks thereof; hair, nails, bone, and teeth; various tissues, organs and fragments of human body, etc. The main task of forensic physical evidence inspection is to solve the personal identification and the right-of-ownership identification problems in judicial practice.
With the increasing depth of DNA genetic markers, DNA typing has become a major tool in forensic physical evidence testing. Personal identification is performed by DNA typing without determining the whole genome sequence. The advantage of DNA typing is also that the same result can be obtained from any body fluid or tissue containing cells, and thus, in the actual identification work, the selection of the test material is good or bad. The nail is often the preferred test material for the identified person because of its non-invasive, concealed, easy to obtain, etc. And the nails are easy to store and transport, and can be selected as identification materials for patients with serious illness or blood transfusion history. The nail has strong anti-putrefaction, so the nail can be used as a cadaver inspection material.
The nail is formed by keratinization of epidermis cells, and is composed of multiple layers of keratinocytes which are firmly connected, and the cells are rich in keratin, and comprise three parts of free edge, nail body and nail root. In the case of some criminal cases, the DNA test of nails requires pulling out the entire nail and digesting the nail body or root portion of the nail to obtain a satisfactory DNA test result. However, in the field of paternity test, it is not practical to extract the whole nail for test, and in general, only the free edge of the nail can be obtained for test. The lower part of the free edge of the nail is not supported, and the nail cells lack nutrition supply of the nail bed, so that compared with other parts of the nail, the cytokeratosis degree is higher, the cell nucleus is degenerated, and the nuclear DNA is degraded more seriously, so that the content is very low, the DNA extraction difficulty is very high, and meanwhile, the DNA extraction difficulty is increased because the free edge of the nail has compact structure.
At present, the nail DNA is generally extracted by adopting an organic method combined with a Chelex-100 extraction method, a Chelex-100 combined adsorption column method or a magnetic bead method, and the pretreatment operation steps of the methods are various: generally, a proper amount of nails are put into a high-speed centrifuge tube, 1.5mL of 10% SDS is added, shaking and soaking are carried out for about 30min, deionized water is used for repeatedly soaking and washing for 2-3 times, double distilled water is used for rinsing for 2-3 times, and after drying, ophthalmic scissors are used for cutting into small blocks. The series of operations have the disadvantages of long time consumption, easy pollution, difficulty in extracting enough DNA, poor experimental amplification effect and difficulty in electrophoresis of a complete map. And organic solvents can cause a degree of harm to the body. DNA extraction kits for nail free edges are also available on the market, but are expensive and costly.
Therefore, DNA extraction is difficult due to the special structure of the free edge of the nail, and the DNA extraction is not currently widely used as a preferred identification material for forensic material science. It is very significant to explore a simple, accurate and low cost method for extracting DNA.
