Application of Polymerase Chain Reaction–Single Strand Conformational Polymorphism (PCR–SSCP) to Identification of Flatfish Species

Genetic polymorphism of toll-like receptors 4 gene by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms, polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformational polymorphism to correlate with mastitic cows

AIM An attempt has been made to study the toll-like receptors 4 (TLR4) gene polymorphism from cattle DNA to correlate with mastitis cows. MATERIALS AND METHODS In present investigation, two fragments of TLR4 gene named T4CRBR1 and T4CRBR2 of a 316 bp and 382 bp were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), respectively from Kankrej (22) and Triple cross (24) cattle. The genetic polymorph...

Application of specific primers and polymerase chain reaction for identification of ralstonia solanacearum biovar2

Identification of endomycorrhizal fungi colonizing roots by fluorescent single-strand conformation polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction.

A method to identify arbuscular endomycorrhizal fungi based on the amplification of portions of the nuclear gene coding for the small subunit rRNA is presented. By coupling the sensitivity of the polymerase chain reaction and the specificity afforded by taxon-specific primers, a variety of samples can be analyzed, including small amounts of colonized roots. Family-specific primers as well as ge...

Molecular identification of Amazonian stingless bees using polymerase chain reaction single-strand conformation polymorphism.

In countries containing a mega diversity of wildlife, such as Brazil, identifying and characterizing biological diversity is a continuous process for the scientific community, even in face of technological and scientific advances. This activity demands initiatives for the taxonomic identification of highly diverse groups, such as stingless bees, including molecular analysis strategies. This typ...
