Use of Single-enzyme Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism for Typing Clostridium Perfringens Isolated from Diarrheic Piglets

Clostridium perfringens is an important pathogen in human and veterinary medicine. In swine, the agent is responsible for necrotic enteritis and enterotoxemia characterized by diarrhea, weight loss, delayed development and, in some cases, death. In the present study amplified fragment length polymorphism analyses (AFLP) was used to characterize 54 C. perfringens strains isolated from swine pres...

A physical amplified fragment-length polymorphism map of Arabidopsis.

We have positioned amplified fragment-length polymorphism (AFLP) markers directly on the genome sequence of a complex organism, Arabidopsis, by combining gel-based AFLP analysis with in silico restriction fragment analysis using the published genome sequence. For placement of the markers, we used information on restriction fragment size, four selective nucleotides, and the rough genetic positio...

Use of amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis to identify medically important Candida spp., including C. dubliniensis.

Non-Candida albicans Candida species are increasingly being isolated. These species show differences in levels of resistance to antimycotic agents and mortality. Therefore, it is important to be able to correctly identify the causative organism to the species level. Identification of C. dubliniensis in particular remains problematic due to the high degree of phenotypic similarity between this s...

Linkage Map Construction for Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) Based on Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Markers

The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, is of high commercial importance as a silk producer and is also widely used for implementation of basic and applied research. It is important to understand its genome organization using molecular markers for genetic studies and for breeding purposes. In this study, a genetic linkage map using 204 amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers was d...
