One of the HLA class II genes, HLA-DQA1, was typed from 290 unrelated healthy Japanese using the oligonucleotide typing method. The HLA-DQA1 gene was enzymatically amplified and typed by dot-blot hybridizations with 10 sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes labeled nonradioactively. Using this method, the HLA-DQA1 genotype was theoretically classified into 36 genotypes: 8 homozygous and 28 heterozygous ones. Actually, 26 genotypes were observed in the present study, and the gene frequency of each allele was calculated. The observed numbers were in accordance with the numbers expected under the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The HLA-DQA1 genotype was also determined in aged bloodstains. Since the genotype is polymorphic in the Japanese population and a very small amount of blood is required for determination, this typing is particularly useful for forensic analysis.

D007564 Japan A country in eastern Asia, island chain between the North Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan, east of the Korean Peninsula. The capital is Tokyo. Bonin Islands
D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories. Sequence Data, Molecular,Molecular Sequencing Data,Data, Molecular Sequence,Data, Molecular Sequencing,Sequencing Data, Molecular
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D001801 Blood Stains Antigenic characteristics and DNA fingerprint patterns identified from blood stains. Their primary value is in criminal cases. Blood Stain,Stain, Blood,Stains, Blood
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
