Coral reefs are globally important marine ecosystems as sites of high biotic diversity. Reef flat sediments are reasonably homogeneous in composition. This substratum is subject to gradients in water motion, grazing pressure and benthic productivity. This study used DNA fingerprinting techniques, automated rRNA intergenic spacer analysis (ARISA), and terminal restriction fragment length polymor...

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...

Kidney tumors from stilbene estrogen (diethylstilbestrol)-treated Syrian hamsters were screened for somatic genetic alterations by Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain-reaction (RAPD-PCR) fingerprinting. Fingerprints from tumor tissue were generated by single arbitrary primers and compared with fingerprints for normal tissue from the same animal, as well as normal and tumor tissues...

The purpose of this research is to investigate gold nanoparticles as a potential scaffold for the characterization of DNA damage and repair using atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. The procedure consists of functionalizing the surface of gold nanoparticles with DNA which are then immobilized onto amine modified silicon or glass surfaces. Our objective is to examine various lesions in ind...

Imagine you are a police officer investigating crime in which somebody has made threatening phone call. There may not be any physical evidence like DNA or fingerprints, but the person’s voice is captured on recording. Experts can analyze recording and compare it with of known suspect to find out how likely that they same person. This method called forensic comparison. It works because people’s ...

Abstract Random amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR (RAPD-PCR) is a technique successfully used to generate characteristic fingerprints of different bacteria. Bacillus genus that includes heterogeneous species, thus combination techniques essential for their identification. Here we RAPD-PCR methodology distinguish among genetically similar strains and evaluate the genetic diversity species from Salar...

OBJECTIVE To explore the role of foods and the environment in the development of infections with Salmonella in infants and children. DESIGN Case-controlled survey and the use of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to establish DNA fingerprint patterns. SETTING Ambulatory and hospitalized patients at a children's hospital. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS A consecutive sample of children younge...

Solution state x-ray diffraction fingerprinting is demonstrated as a method for experimentally assessing the accuracy of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Fourier transforms of coordinate data from MD simulations are used to produce reciprocal space "fingerprints" of atomic pair distance correlations that are characteristic of the ensemble and are the direct numerical analogues of experiment...

Fingerprint based identification is one of the most mature and proven technique compare to the all biometric technique. In crime sense fingerprints have been extensively used for identification of criminals. Fingerprints are classified as rolled, plain and latent fingerprints. Latent fingerprints are lifted from surface of objects that are unintentionally touched by person. Latent means poor qu...
