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.

Genetic modification involves insertion of foreign DNA into the nucleus of a normal cell where it integrates with the host DNA. Genetic analysis uses molecular techniques to detect the inserted transgenic DNA (GMO) in a sample. The method most commonly used for this purpose is PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). The PCR technique amplifies (copies) the DNA billions of times in order for detection and quantitation to be possible.
