Analysis of ancient DNA from coprolites: a perspective with random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction approach.
The aim of this work was to determine approaches that would improve the quality of ancient DNA (aDNA) present in coprolites to enhance the possibility of success in retrieving specific sequence targets. We worked with coprolites from South American archaeological sites in Brazil and Chile dating up to 7,000 years ago. Using established protocols for aDNA extraction we obtained samples showing h...
متن کاملRandom amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting of Mycoplasma gallisepticum isolates from chickens
Ten field isolates of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) from different geographical areas of Iran were analyzed by random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD). RAPD analysis produced reproducible banding patterns on the basis of which various distinct amplification patterns could be detected. MG isolates compared with reference strains (S6 and Mg SS) and vaccine strain (ts-11) and demonstrated...
متن کاملDNA sequencing with Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase and direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction-amplified DNA.
The highly thermostable DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus (Taq) is ideal for both manual and automated DNA sequencing because it is fast, highly processive, has little or no 3'-exonuclease activity, and is active over a broad range of temperatures. Sequencing protocols are presented that produce readable extension products greater than 1000 bases having uniform band intensities. A combinati...
متن کاملSPECIFIC AMPLIFICATION OF ASPERGILLUS FUMlGATUS DNA BY POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
Invasive aspergillosis (1 is a life-threatening condition in immunocompromised patients. An early diagnosis is of great importance because early treatment may resolve this potentially fatal infection. Recently, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used successfully in detecting specific DNA of several pathogen. In this study, nested PCR was used to detect DNA specific for A!.pergiflus s...
متن کاملGenetic analysis with random amplified polymorphic DNA markers.
For many years, the principles of genetics have been applied to crop variety improvement with great success. Severa1 crop species, notably corn, wheat, and tomato, have been used as model genetic systems because of their central importance to food production. Until recently, virtually a11 progress in both breeding and model genetic systems has relied on a phenotypic assay of genotype. Because t...
