چکیده

A general method for obtaining species-specific repetitive DNA sequences is described. The method is based on the detection of recombinant DNA clones containing repetitive sequences using labeled total genomic DNA. These repetitive DNA sequences can be used to identify individual mosquito adults, pupae, and larvae squashed on filter membranes (squash blots). This technique was used to distinguish individuals of the four sibling species of the Anopheles quadrimaculatus complex. Repetitive DNA sequences and squash blots can be of use for rapid identification of other insect species in field collections.

مقایسه‌ی دو روش مولکولی PCR و LAMP در تشخیص سالمونلا

Background and Objective: There are several techniques for the diagnosing of salmonella infectious. Several molecular methods such as PCR and hybridization assay have recently been used for the detection of this bacterium. However, these methods require precision instruments for amplification and complex procedures, which are the major obstacles to the widespread use of these methods in relativ...

Hybrids in fishes and their identification using microsatellite DNA markers: A review

Among vertebrates, most of the fishes are unique for the lack of acrosome in their spermatozoa. The sperm enters the egg through micropyle of the egg. This has facilitated heterologous fertilization in many fishes and led to hybridization and polyploidization. Hybridization is performed both in the nature and domesticated fishes. Today, some of the hybrids have high growth rate than their paren...

PCR-restriction enzyme method based on the polymorphism in ribosomal-DNA for identification of the most important dermatophyte species in Iran

Background and aim: Dermatophytosis (tinea, ringworm) is the infection of skin, hair or nail that is caused by various keratinophilic fungi (dermatophytes). Dermatophytosis is a common infection throughout the world including all parts of Iran. As conventional laboratory procedures for identification of different dermatophytes are slow or lack specificity, more rapid and reliable methods are st...

Rapid preparation and identification of insert-containing recombinant plasmid DNA.

The identification of transformant bacterial colonies containing potential recombinant DNA clones can be performed using a wide variety of screening methods including colony hybridization and autoradiography, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction endonuclease analysis of individual plasmid DNA (1,5). While colony hybridization can efficiently screen large numbers of recombinant clones...
