The human genome is full of repeated DNA sequences which come in various sizes and are classified according to the length of the core repeat units, the number of contiguous repeat units, and/or the overall length of the repeat region. DNA regions with short repeat units (usually 2-6 bp in length) are called Short Tandem Repeats (STR).

Journals that Require Cell Line Authentication
The following is a list of just some of many peer-review journals that are known to
require cell line authentication for all submitted research involving cell lines.
5. Failure to monitor cell lines for cross-contamination or misidentification, a problem that has persisted for cell lines for
decades, may result in compromised data and ultimately irreproducible results. How to solve this problem?
A Misidentification due to labeling errors
B Incorrect classification by pathologists
C Cross-contamination with other cell types
6. Intruduction What is Short tandem repeat?
Short tandem repeat is a microsatellite, consisting
of a unit of two to thirteen nucleotides repeated
hundreds of times in a row on the DNA strand.
Standards for Cell Line Authentication
short tandem repeat [STR] profiling
7. DNA Polymorphisms
Most of our DNA is identical to DNA of others. However, there are
inherited regions of our DNA that can vary from person to
person. Variations in DNA sequence between individuals are termed
"polymorphisms".
STR
STRs are short sequences of DNA, normally of length 2-5 base pairs,
that are repeated numerous times in a head-tail manner.
These Sequences with the highest degree of polymorphism are very
useful for DNA analysis in forensics cases and paternity testing.

STR DNA profiling is now a powerful, inexpensive tool that can generate unique DNA signatures that can be used to authenticate cell lines and detect contamination of more than one cell type. This presentation will talk about why scientists need cell authentication, what is STR profile and STR profile workflow from Creative Bioarray.
Accurate documentation of cell line tissue of origin, sex, and species are critical to ensure the credibility, reproducibility, and translation of data and results from cell culture-based experiments. The financial implications of misidentified or contaminated cell lines can be profound; as much as $700 million dollars per year in research that could be at risk. A Survey conducted by GBSI shows that The majority (52%) of respondents never perform authentication or other species-related QC tests on cell lines used in their experiments. Moreover, 74% never conduct STR profiling.
When it comes to training, only 62% of respondents (Figure 2) had received specific training on the problems of cell line misidentification (cross-contamination) and mislabeling, and less than one-third (30%) were trained on the importance of cell line authentication as a quality control measure for species confirmation. Furthermore, only 65% of respondents indicated that their laboratory follows specific written procedures for the handling and storage of cultured cells and cell lines.
Many Journals Require Cell Line Authentication. The following is a list of just some of many peer-review journals that are known to require cell line authentication for all submitted research involving cell lines, like AACR journals group, nature publishing group.

Different genomic technologies have been applied to cell line authentication, but only one method (short tandem repeat [STR] profiling) has been the subject of a comprehensive and definitive standard. An international team of scientists is preparing a consensus standard on the authentication of human cells using short tandem repeat (STR) profiling.
So what is STR profiling? Short tandem repeat is a microsatellite, consisting of a unit of two to thirteen nucleotides repeated hundreds of times in a row on the DNA strand.
Most of our DNA is identical to DNA of others. However, there are inherited regions of our DNA that can vary from person to person. Variations in DNA sequence between individuals are termed "polymorphisms". STRs are short sequences of DNA, normally of length 2-5 base pairs, that are repeated numerous times in a head-tail manner.
These Sequences with the highest degree of polymorphism are very useful for DNA analysis in forensics cases and paternity testing.
Although the human genome contains thousands upon thousands of STR markers, only a small core set of loci have been selected for use in forensic DNA and human identity testing . The 13 core STR loci used for the U.S. national DNA database are shown in the chart.
The number of repeats of each STR at each genetic site varies within the human populations. STR profiling is the mehod to identify individuals or cell lines by characteristics of their DNA.
Creative Bioarray offers STR analysis service. We offers unique customized solutions to fit any need.
