Sequence characterized amplifled region (SCAR) markers were derived from random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) that segregate in a longleaf pine x slash pine Fi family. Nine RAPD fragments, five from longleafpine and four from slash pine, were cloned and end sequenced. A total of 13 SCAR primer pairs, with lengths between 17 and 24 nucleotides, were developed. Nine (for SCAR loci FGPO04, FG...

RAPD is a simple dominant marker system widely used in biology. Effectiveness of RAPD can be improved by selecting and redesigning primers whose priming sites occur in target sequence(s) of gene or organism at optimum distance. We developed software that uses sequences of random decamer primers and nucleotide sequence(s) as two input files. It locates the priming sites in input sequences and ge...

RAPD-PCR method was used for systematic study and revealing the genetic relationships in Malus by using 7 apple cultivars from some mid Iraqi regions, DNA of fresh leaves extracted modified protocol CTAB, 22 prechosen random decamer primers were applied to detect genotypes. four gave reproducible appeared polymorphism RAPD profile, a total 48 bands produced out which 36 polymorphic, results ari...

BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus is a highly versatile pathogen of a large number of domestic ani- mals, including avian species. There is limited information about S. aureus isolated from companion and wild birds in Iran. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine drug resistance and random-amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR (RAPD-P...

Clinical isolates (n = 63) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa obtained from various sites in 63 horses were compared using ERIC2 RAPD PCR to determine their genetic relatedness. Resulting banding patterns (n = 24 genotypes) showed a high degree of genetic heterogeneity amongst all isolates examined, indicating a relative non-clonal relationship between isolates from these patients, employing this genoty...

Introduction The recent development of the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker system (Williams et al., 1990) has spawned considerable interest within the plant breeding community. The simplicity of the assay itself, as compared to restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, potentially affords the opportunity to apply this marker system to the benefit of both basic and...

introduction: recently, the incidence of fungal infections dramatically increased with an appearance of many novel species due to different criteria. therefore, several molecular methods have been established for identification of these agents which cause human and animal disorder based on genomic dna. among these methods, rapd-pcr technique is a powerful discriminative method based on amplifie...
