Individual-specific DNA fingerprinting in man using the oligonucleotide probe (GTG)5/(CAC)5.

چکیده
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) associated with interspersed simple repetitive DNA arise from DNA fragment lengths that contain variable numbers of the repeated motifs. Using restriction enzymes with different 4 base pair recognition sites and the simple triplet repeat hybridization probe, (GTG)5/(CAC)5, DNA multilocus fingerprints can be obtained in man. Only the DNAs of monozygous twins show indistinguishable banding patterns. Since the bands are inherited according to Mendelian laws, DNA fingerprints can be used for identification of individuals and paternity analysis. The discriminatory power in the DNA fingerprinting technique in forensic science is demonstrated and examples of paternity testing are given.

DNA Fingerprinting in Camels (Camelus dromedarius) Using Microsatellite Oligo Probes
Oligonucleotide probes specific for simple tandem repeat sequences produce individual specific DNA fingerprints in man and all animal species so far. In the present investigation (r)-p labeled oligonucleotide probes (GTG)5, (GT)8 and (GGAT)4 were used as multilocus probes to detect hypervariable microsatellites in the Indian dromedary camel population. Oligo probes were radiolabelled and hybrid...
متن کاملDNA Fingerprinting Based on Repetitive Sequences of Iranian Indigenous Lactobacilli Species by (GTG)5- REP-PCR
Background and Objective: The use of lactobacilli as probiotics requires the application of accurate and reliable methods for the detection and identification of bacteria at the strain level. Repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR), a DNA fingerprinting technique, has been successfully used as a powerful molecular typing method to determine taxonomic and phylogenetic relat...
متن کاملHybridization probes for conventional DNA fingerprinting used as single primers in the polymerase chain reaction to distinguish strains of Cryptococcus neoformans.
In conventional DNA fingerprinting, hypervariable and repetitive sequences (minisatellite or microsatellite DNA) are detected with hybridization probes. As demonstrated here, these probes can be used as single primers in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to generate individual fingerprints. Several conventional DNA fingerprinting probes were used to prime the PCR, yielding distinctive, hyperv...
متن کاملApplicability of rep-PCR fingerprinting for identification of Lactobacillus species.
PCR amplification of repetitive bacterial DNA elements fingerprinting using the (GTG)(5) primer ((GTG)(5)-PCR) was proven to be useful for differentiation of a wide range of lactobacilli (i.e. 26 different (sub)species) at the species, subspecies and potentially up to the strain level. Using this rapid and reproducible genotypic technique, new Lactobacillus isolates recovered from different typ...
متن کاملOligonucleotide (GTG)5 as an epidemiological tool in the study of nontuberculous mycobacteria.
Analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphisms in the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (DNA fingerprinting) has proved to be a useful epidemiological tool in the study of tuberculosis within populations or communities. However, to date, no similar method has been developed to study the epidemiology of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). In this communication, we report that a simple o...
