A Simple Genome Walking Strategy to Isolate Unknown Genomic Regions Using Long Primer and RAPD Primer

Background: Genome walking is a DNA-cloning methodology that is used to isolate unknown genomic regions adjacent to known sequences. However, the existing genome-walking methods have their own limitations. Objectives: Our aim was to provide a simple and efficient genome-walking technology. Material and Methods: In this paper, we dev...

Development of primer pairs from diverse chloroplast genomes for use in plant phylogenetic research.

Variation in the chloroplast DNA sequence is useful for plant phylogenetic studies. However, the number of variable sequences provided by chloroplast DNA for suggested genes or genomic regions in plant phylogenetic analyses is often inadequate. To identify conserved regions that can be used to design primers and amplify variable sequences for use in plant phylogenetic studies, the complete chlo...

Non-timber Plant Resources· in Tropical Moist Forest: An Ecological Primer

The Biodiversity Support Program (BSP) was established in 1988 with funding from the Research and Development Bureau of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), under cooperative agreement number DHR-5554-A-00-8044-00. BSP is implemented by a consortium of World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy, and the World Resources Institute. The central purpose of the program is to suppo...

Genetics Primer

genetics Primer g enetics is the study of genes— the heritable information that contains the codes for proteins and other molecules which form and maintain an organism's structure and function. In most organisms, these genes are found in strands of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules. The specific structure of the DNA (described below) ensures that the genetic information can be passed from o...
