The multilocus DNA fingerprinting technique has been applied to a range of tissue samples from sub-antarctic teals and hyrids between Grey and Mallard ducks. DNA has been extracted from whole blood which was frozen immediately, Tris/NaCI/EDTA preserved tissue and heart and wing muscle which has been preserved in 70% ethanol and later stored in an utlrafreezer. Three multilocus probes, 33.6, 33....

The development of in vitro propagation of cells has been an extraordinary technical advance for several biological studies. The correct identification of the cell line used, however, is crucial, as a mistaken identity or the presence of another contaminating cell may lead to invalid and/or erroneous conclusions. We report here the application of a DNA fingerprinting procedure (directed amplifi...

Sequences that are present in a given species or strain while absent from or different in any other organisms can be used to distinguish the target organism from other related or un-related species. Such DNA signatures are particularly important for the identification of genetic source of drug resistance of a strain or for the detection of organisms that can be used as biological agents in warf...

Genome -based technologies are being instigated to manipulate the structure and function of genome identify genes interest for genetic modification economically important species. editing have also been designed manipulation aquaculture species increase production quality with minimum investment costs. DNA marker most widely used technologies. fingerprints construct physical maps while based up...

Correspondence between two distinct genetic traits, 16S rRNA gene sequences and repetitive element-sequence-based BOX-PCR DNA fingerprints, and antibiotic inhibition and resistance phenotypes was explored for a spatially explicit sample of Streptomyces from a prairie soil. There was no correspondence between 16S rRNA gene sequence groups and antibiotic phenotypes. However, 16S rRNA gene sequenc...

This paper presents an example of online reproducible multivariate data analysis. This example is based on a web page providing an online computing facility on a server. HTML forms contain editable R code snippets that can be executed in any web browser thanks to the Rweb software. The example is based on the multivariate analysis of DNA fingerprints of the internal bacterial flora of the poult...
