Short Tandem Repeat (STR) Analysis is used for the identification and authentication of human cell lines in the biotech industry. In eukaryotic genomes, there are repeated polymorphic sequences 2-7 base pairs long and are variable in their number of repeats. Because of this variability, a common core set of STR loci can be utilized for STR analysis in the identification and authentication of cell lines and individuals. Cell line identification and authentication is important to reduce the possibility of using misidentified or contaminated cell lines in research which leads to drastic consequences such as loss of money, time, effort, and integrity of scientific research.<\/p>\n

Cell line authentication is the verification of a cell line by matching its profile against the original donor or achieved cell stock. STR analysis is performed when a new cell line is acquired, either from a stock or created in-house, and to verify a cell line\u2019s uniqueness and identity.<\/p>\n
