DNA = deoxyribonucleic acid.
DNA carries the genetic information in the cell – i.e. it carries the instructions for making all the structures and materials the body needs to function.
DNA is capable of self-replication.
Most of the cell’s DNA is carried in the nucleus – a small amount is contained in the mitochondria.
DNA Fingerprinting involves different stages -
1. First is isolation of DNA from target cell.
2. Then treatment of restriction digestion of DNA to generate DNA fragments.
3. Then separation of DNA fragments using Agarose Gel Electrophoresis .
4. Transfer of Agarose Gel DNA bands to nitrocellulose membrane filter. This filter paper after the DNA transfer is known as Southern Blot .
5. Then use of complementary DNA Probe to bind with target DNA .
6. X- Ray film exposure which represent Dark bands of DNA called DNA Fingerprints .
DNA fingerprinting is a method used to identify living things based on samples of their DNA. Instead of looking at the whole sequence of a person’s DNA, these techniques look at the presence or absence of common markers that can be quickly and easily identified.
FORENSIC DNA PROFILING: Strengths and LimitationsHezekiah Fatoki
Forensic science is defined as the application of scientific knowledge and experimentation to legal contentions, be they civil or criminal matters. DNA profiling (also called DNA typing or DNA fingerprinting) is a forensic techniques used to identify individuals by characteristics of their DNA in crime cases. DNA profiling can be use to resolve paternal and ancestral issues. This process was built mainly on the knowledge of two scientific breakthroughs. First is the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) which was conceived by Kary Mullis in 1983 at Cetus Corporation, USA. Second is the Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of repeated DNA sequences which was discovered by Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys in 1985 at the University of Leicester, UK. The strengths and limitations of the current and emerging forensic DNA profiling are the focus of this seminar. It is my expectation that the newly proposed synthetic human genome project will aid the strength of this process in the future.

Trichotillomania (trik-o-til-o-MAY-nee-uh), also called hair-pulling disorder, is a mental disorder that involves recurrent, irresistible urges to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body, despite trying to stop.
Hair pulling from the scalp often leaves patchy bald spots, which causes significant distress and can interfere with social or work functioning. People with trichotillomania may go to great lengths to disguise the loss of hair.
For some people, trichotillomania may be mild and generally manageable. For others, the compulsive urge to pull hair is overwhelming. Some treatment options have helped many people reduce their hair pulling or stop entirely.Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of trichotillomania often include:
Repeatedly pulling your hair out, typically from your scalp, eyebrows or eyelashes, but sometimes from other body areas, and sites may vary over time
An increasing sense of tension before pulling, or when you try to resist pulling
A sense of pleasure or relief after the hair is pulled
Noticeable hair loss, such as shortened hair or thinned or bald areas on the scalp or other areas of your body, including sparse or missing eyelashes or eyebrows
Preference for specific types of hair, rituals that accompany hair pulling or patterns of hair pulling
Biting, chewing or eating pulled-out hair
Playing with pulled-out hair or rubbing it across your lips or face
Repeatedly trying to stop pulling out your hair or trying to do it less often without success
Significant distress or problems at work, school or in social situations related to pulling out your hair
Many people who have trichotillomania also pick their skin, bite their nails or chew their lips. Sometimes pulling hairs from pets or dolls or from materials, such as clothes or blankets, may be a sign. Most people with trichotillomania pull hair in private and generally try to hide the disorder from others.
For people with trichotillomania, hair pulling can be:
Focused. Some people pull their hair intentionally to relieve tension or distress — for example, pulling hair out to get relief from the overwhelming urge to pull hair. Some people may develop elaborate rituals for pulling hair, such as finding just the right hair or biting pulled hairs.
Automatic. Some people pull their hair without even realizing they're doing it, such as when they're bored, reading or watching TV.
The same person may do both focused and automatic hair pulling, depending on the situation and mood. Certain positions or rituals may trigger hair pulling, such as resting your head on your hand or brushing your hair.
Trichotillomania can be related to emotions:
Negative emotions. For many people with trichotillomania, hair pulling is a way of dealing with negative or uncomfortable feelings, such as stress, anxiety, tension, boredom, loneliness, fatigue or frustration.
Positive feelings.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

DNA Extraction of Human Hair using ISOHAIR Kit Method_114253.pptx
1. DNA Extraction of Human Hair
using ISOHAIR Kit Method
-By Ananya Sharma
2. Human Hair
Hair is an appendage of the skin that grows out of an organ known as the hair
follicle.
A hair is made up of three general parts:
1. Follicle
2. Root
3. Shaft
3. Structure
1. Follicle: tube like organ in the under layer of the dermis and is linked to the
body’s blood supply
2. Root: portion of hair below the skin, embedded in the follicle.
3. Shaft: portion of hair above the skin, made up of three layers-
● Medulla
● Cortex
● Cuticle
4. Medulla
❏ Centre layer of hairshaft.
❏ Not always present. Can be continuous or broken.
❏ Made up of large loosely connected cells.
❏ May contain melanin.
5. Cortex
❏ Largest and most important layer of the hairshaft.
❏ Determines the texture of the hair.
❏ All chemical and physical changes takes place here.
❏ Melanin is found here- permanent colour changes takes place in the cortex.
6. Cuticle
❏ The outer layer.
❏ Made up of clear overlapping scales.
❏ Contains no melanin.
❏ 2 to 12 layers thick.
❏ Protect the cortex.
❏ Determines the hair porosity.
7. ISOHAIR KIT
The extraction of DNA from human hair is a critical technique in forensic
medicine. When compared to the traditional test, which uses blood or tissue
samples, the ability to extract DNA from such samples quickly and easily is
extremely valuable. In the field of molecular biology, DNA extraction from hair is
also extremely useful due to its unique characteristics: easy sampling and
tolerance to viral infection from conventional samples.
8. The ISOHAIR kit extracts DNA from human hair. Keratin, a protein that is
difficult to decompose, is a major component of hair and nails. To completely
dissolve hair, it is typically necessary to incubate it in a buffer containing a protein
degrading enzyme for an extended period of time.
Using this kit, you can completely degrade your hair in about 30 minutes. This kit
also allows for simple, rapid DNA extraction from hair in about 1 hour, which is
especially useful when human genomic DNA is needed quickly.
ISOHAIR can also be used to extract DNA from mouse hair.
10. *1 White crystals may appear in the Extraction Buffer but this will not affect the
quality. In that case, ensure to dissolve the crystals in a water bath about at 50°C
before use. The Extraction Buffer contains a protein denaturant and should be
handled with care. If the product enters eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash
well with large amounts of water.
Storage -
-20℃
11. Protocol
*1) Required volume of sample is as follows. Human hair: 1 cm hair root sample cut at 1 cm distance from
the root end OR 4 cm hair shaft sample cut at distances of 2 cm and 6 cm from the root end.
*2) Hair cosmetics may inhibit PCR reaction. Wash hair samples thoroughly with ethanol as follows before
proceeding to the next step when they are adhered with hair cosmetics, dirt, or dust.
(1) Add about 1 ml of ethanol to a 1.5 ml plastic tube.
(2) Put uncut hair sample into (1) using forceps.
(3) Invert (2) several times.
(4) Take out the sample with forceps, place on filter paper or the like and remove as much ethanol as
possible.
12. If a hair sample is clean and if it is not adhered with foreign subjects, there is no need to wash with
ethanol. It is also recommend that mouse body hair is washed with ethanol before starting the
procedure. When using a manicured nail sample, remove manicure paint first.
*3) White crystals may appear in the Extraction Buffer but this will not affect the quality. In that
case, ensure to dissolve the crystals in a water bath at about 50°C before use and to homogenize by
stirring. The Extraction Buffer contains a protein denaturant and should be handled with care. If
the product enters eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash well with large amounts of water.
Perform all of the following steps before ethanol precipitation at room temperature unless
otherwise noted.
*4) Mix by tapping tube several times with a finger. Avoid vigorous mixing such as vortexing.
Contd…
13. *5) Hair starts degrading during this incubation Reaction temperature can be 37°C
or room temperature. The reaction time at 37°C is 2-3 times longer than at 55°C,
and 3-5 times longer at room temperature.
*6) Small pieces of digested hair sample deposit at the bottom of tube during
dissolution step
14. Mix by tapping the bottom of the tube gently with a finger every 2-3 min during
the reaction. Dissolution time varies depending on the type and volume of the
hair. If undigested pieces of hair remain after incubation (after *6)), add 5 μl of
the Enzyme Solution and incubate at 55 °C for 5-10 min again. If the hair still
cannot be dissolved completely even after second incubation with additional
Enzyme Solution, continue the procedure with the obtained solution as it should
contain eluted DNA.
15. *7) Mix gently by inversion. Avoid vigorous mixing such as vortexing.
*8) Addition of Ethachinmate during ethanol precipitation enhances efficiency in DNA extraction. For the
feature of Ethachinmate, it can accelerate the DNA extraction process by omitting incubation at -20°C in
the conventional ethanol precipitation.
*9) When the final DNA yield is low, it may be increased by incubation at -20°C for 30 min after the step
9).
*10) Air dry or briefly vacuum dry pellet for 5-10 min. It is important not to over-dry the pellet as it may
become harder to resuspend.
*11) When DNA is extracted from a hair root sample, there is a risk of RNA contamination.
Treat the solution with RNase to eliminate RNA as necessary.
