Short tandem repeat (STR) analysis is a standard test for
validating cell lines. The analysis of highly variable STRs
provides a simple, inexpensive, and specific genetic "fingerprint"
of cell lines. Cell line STR analysis confirms cell identity by
analyzing DNA microsatellite regions with the variable numbers of
repeats and located in the entire genome. The important thing is
that STR analysis is the test required by most journals. At
present, STR markers for human cell lines have formed a relatively
complete genotype profile of cell lines, but the standardization
method for STR purification of non-human cells needs to be further
improved. Our
STR analysis service is mainly carried out for human cell
lines, and also accepts STR analysis of cell lines of experimental
animals such as mice and rats.
