An encoder is a sensor of mechanical motion that generates digital signals in response to motion. As an electro-mechanical device, an encoder is able to provide motion control system users with information concerning position, velocity and direction. There are two different types of encoders: linear and rotary.
Because unrelated people will almost definitely differ in their number of repeats, STRs can be used to confidently discriminate between unrelated persons. DNA is isolated from material collected at the crime scene. The STR loci are amplified by PCR using sequence-specific primers. These primers are designed in such a way that they can amplify the STR loci from any individual. The resulting DNA fragments are then processed using electrophoresis.
