The training module is designed to explore various aspects of cell line authentication.
Three separate slide decks are included, courtesy of Bio-Trac and in memory of Roland Nardone.
Human Cell Line Authentication
Discusses why authentication is necessary, when to test, and what methods are available with a focus on STR genotyping.
Discusses short tandem repeat (STR) markers, how they are used for genotyping, and some basic quality considerations.
Non-Human Cell Line Authentication
Discusses options to authenticate non-human cell lines, performing DNA barcoding for species detection, and performing STR genotyping for authentication at the individual level.
