1 Introduction The first step of RAPD fingerprinting is the preparation of the target DNA template. Intuitively, minimal DNA template preparation should be necessary for RAPDs since, theoretically, PCR may amplify a single DNA molecule. It seems one would simply homogenize tissue and allow the PCR to "find" and amplify the target DNA. Indeed, many rapid DNA isolation methods designed for use wi...

Seven dextran-producing Leuconostoc strains were differentiated by using a modified randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) protocol that incorporated specific primers designed from conserved regions of dextransucrase genes. RAPD profiles showed intraspecies differences among the Leuconostoc mesenteroides strains tested. This modified RAPD protocol will aid in the differentiation of polymer-p...

PURPOSE To assess the amount of structural loss (retinal nerve fiber layer [RNFL] thickness loss, macular thickness [MT] and volume [MV] measured by optical coherence tomography [OCT]) and functional loss (visual acuity [VA], visual field mean deviation [MD], brightness sensitivity, and red perception) necessary for a relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) to manifest in patients with glauco...

Isoenzyme and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to characterize the genetics of geographic variation among population samples of Ascaris suum from midwestern localities. Independent estimates of fixation indices (FST) based on isoenzyme and RAPD markers showed the same general patterns of differentiation and substantial statistical correlation (r = 0.70). Of the total es...

Dalbergia oliveri is a leguminous tree of the Fabaceae family. This species is popular and valuable in Vietnam and is currently listed on the Vietnam Red List and on the IUCN Red List as endangered. Two PCR techniques using RAPD and inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to make a comparative analysis of genetic diversity in this species. Fifty-six polymorphic primers (29 R...

The aim of the study was to investigate the characteristics of Salmonella serotype Enteritidis strains isolated from outbreaks and sporadic cases in Turkey by plasmid profiles and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) patterns. A total of 64 S. Enteritidis clinical strains were selected from the culture collection of the Enterobacteria Laboratory of Ankara University Medical School Departme...
