Non-destructive DNA extraction methods that yield DNA barcodes in spiders
DNA barcodes are short sequences of nucleotides that differ from species to species (Hebert et al., 2003; Hebert & Gregory, 2005). DNA barcoding is very important in helping to reconstruct phylogenetic trees and to confirm the identity of threatened or endangered species in the wild. Additionally, it has become increasingly popular in the food industry to test the accuracy of the food being sol...
متن کاملNon-Destructive Sampling of Ancient Insect DNA
BACKGROUND A major challenge for ancient DNA (aDNA) studies on insect remains is that sampling procedures involve at least partial destruction of the specimens. A recent extraction protocol reveals the possibility of obtaining DNA from past insect remains without causing visual morphological damage. We test the applicability of this protocol on historic museum beetle specimens dating back to AD...
متن کامل3 Testing for resistance of pelagic marine copepods 4 to a toxic dinoflagellate 5 SEAN
11 Abstract. With few exceptions, the evolutionary consequences of harmful algae to grazers in 12 aquatic systems remain unexplored. To examine both the ecological and evolutionary consequences 13 of harmful algae on marine zooplankton, we used a two-fold approach. In the first approach, we 14 examined the life history responses of two geographically separate Acartia hudsonica (Copepoda: 15 Cal...
متن کاملNitrogen-fixing, photosynthetic, anaerobic bacteria associated with pelagic copepods
Purple sulfur bacteria are photosynthetic, anaerobic microorganisms that fix carbon dioxide using hydrogen sulfide as an electron donor; many are also nitrogen fixers. Because of t h e ~ r requirements for sulfide or orgamc carbon as electron donors in anoxygenic photosynthesis, these bacteria are generally thought to be l im~ted to shallow, organic-nch, anoxic environments such as subtidal mar...
متن کاملA non-destructive DNA sampling technique for herbarium specimens
Herbarium specimens are an important source of DNA for plant research but current sampling methods require the removal of material for DNA extraction. This is undesirable for irreplaceable specimens such as rare species or type material. Here I present the first non-destructive sampling method for extracting DNA from herbarium specimens. DNA was successfully retrieved from robust leaves and/or ...
