Genomic DNA was isolated from purified B141 and B388 particles using a Wizard Genomic DNA purification kit (Promega, Madison, WI) and submitted to Fasteris SA (Plan-les-Ouates, Switzerland)
Mapping was visualized using Tablet v. 1.13.07_21, and homopolymeric errors were corrected by manual inspection of conflicting bases indicated by Illumina reads or by Sanger sequencing
Promega was the first company to provide kits for STR analysis of single loci.[9] Along with Applied Biosystems, Promega participated with the FBI and other crime labs in validating STR loci that would eventually be selected as the core loci for the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), used for forensic DNA testing in North America.
