CONCATENATE Basics. To use the CONCATENATE function, write a formula starting =CONCATENATE( followed by each item you want to combine, separated by commas. To include strings of plain text, wrap the text inside quotation marks. For example, the formula =CONCATENATE(x,y) results in a single cell that reads xy..
Microsatellite genotyping is the genotyping of tandem repeats such as Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) or Variable Nucleotide Tandem Repeats (VNTRs). STRs and VNTRs are polymorphic DNA loci present throughout the genome.Microsatellite genotyping is a widely accepted tool for a variety of applications such as linkage mapping studies, association studies, and identification of organisms.Applied Biosystems' five-dye chemistry increases the number of microsatellite markers that can be run in a single capillary, for improved throughput.Figure 1 is an example of 18 microsatellite loci co-electrophoresed in a single capillary.pplied Biosystems' five-dye chemistry increases the number of microsatellite markers that can be run in a single capillary, for improved throughput.

DNA fingerprinting can be used to help identify individuals by revealing the. differences in the DNA sequence among different people. Certain non-coding regions of. DNA exhibit significant differences in base pair sequence among individuals. Such. regions are called polymorphisms (meaning many forms). Thus, you can compare the. base pair sequence of a polymorphic region of DNA found at a crime scene with the base. pair sequence of a polymorphic region of DNA obtained from the suspects. If the. sequence of one of the suspects matches the sequence found at the crime scene, then you. can be certain that the suspect was present at the crime scene.
