in order to identify the sex marker in mahisefied, rutilus frisii kutum, samples from 5 male and 5 female fish were collected from the south caspian sea. polymerase chain reaction random amplified polymorphic dna (pcr-rapd) was performed using 124 primer sets. all bands were numbered using 1 and 0 scores corresponding to the presence or absence of bands, respectively and data were analyzed usin...

A discrete stochastic process involving random amplification with additive noise is studied analytically. If the non-negative random amplification factor b is such that =1, where beta is any positive noninteger, then the steady state probability density function for the process will have power law tails of the form p(x) approximately 1/x(beta+1). This is a generalization of recent resu...

Alternatives for sequencing of PCR products essentially fall into one of two categories; generation of single-stranded DNA for sequencing or the direct sequencing of double-stranded product. Of the two alternatives, sequencing of double-stranded PCR products is likely to be of greatest immediate significance in terms of general applicability and rapidity. Double-stranded sequencing allows the u...
