Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides methods for rapid forensic investigations by identification of bioagents associated with biowarfare and acts of terrorism or crime. The methods are also useful for epidemiological investigations by genotyping of bioagents.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method of identifying a bioagent associated with an act of biowarfare, terrorism or criminal activity comprising the steps of: determining a first molecular mass of a first amplification product of a first bioagent identifying amplicon obtained from a sample taken at the scene of biowarfare, terrorism or criminal activity; and comparing the first molecular mass to a second molecular mass of a second bioagent identifying amplicon, wherein both first an…
