Usefulness of DNA Fingerprinting for Swine

A DNA Fingerprinting Exercise for

"Hands on" laboratory exercises are excellent teaching tools because they have the potential to reach students with all types of learning styles. Unfortunately the large monetary investment required to obtain supplies and equipment and train instructors prevents many schools from providing hands-on learning experiences with DNA technology. Students in non-laboratory courses are even less likely...

Application of DNA Fingerprinting for Plant Identification

DNA fingerprints led to the identification of closely related plant species and it is one of the tool for assessing genetic diversity and species relationship. DNA is most stable and does not vary seasonally and with age of the plant. DNA based fingerprinting techniques plays greater role in authentication of botanicals. This review gives an outline about the importance of DNA fingerprinting, D...

Automated Image Analysis for Dna Fingerprinting

Methods for automated detection of DNA restriction fragments resolved on agarose fingerprinting gels are described. We present a mathematical model for the location and shape of the restriction fragments as a function of fragment size, with model parameters determined empirically from marker lanes containing molecular size standards. Automated identification of restriction fragments involves se...
