The suitability of random amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR for the detection of differences between Mycobacterium malmoense strains was evaluated. With two of the 32 tested primers seven fingerprint patterns which proved excellent in distinguishing intraspecies variations of M. malmoense were obtained. The combination of the results obtained with the two primers permitted a clear separation of the...

a random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. when the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (rwre). the basic questions such as the law of large numbers (lln), the central limit theorem (clt), and the large deviation principle (ldp) are no...

The objective of the present study was to conduct DNA based genotyping analysis for hybrid identification in maize (Zea mays L.) using DNA fingerprinting technology. To achieve this random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was employed. A total of 40 random tenmer primers were surveyed. Of these, OPR-03, OPR-11 and OPT-06 were polymorphic which not only verified the purity among three l...

Aptamers are DNA oligonucleotides capable of binding different classes of targets with high affinity and selectivity. They are particularly attractive as affinity probes in multiplexed quantitative analysis of proteins. Aptamers are typically selected from large libraries of random DNA sequences in a general approach termed systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). SELE...

Free-living N2-fixing Frankia strains isolated from Casuarina sp. were investigated for genomic polymorphism. We used six 10-mer oligonucleotides as single arbitrary primers (AP) for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in order to amplify random DNA fragments in the genome of free-living Frankia strains. Agarose-gels of the amplified genomic DNA revealed that two of the six arbitrary primers sh...

in the present paper, an algorithm is presented for reliability analysis of beams with random material properties under static spatially random loads. the randomness may be due to the employed manufacturing process that leads to components with slightly different microstructures. since the material properties are random, the stiffness matrices and subsequently, the response will be of random na...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the genetic diversity and relationships of 5 Egyptian indigenous strains (Fayoumi, Dokki-4, Golden Montazah, Silver Montazah, and El-Salam) using 10 random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers. The gel analyses were performed using GelCompare II where the matrix was constructed followed by the cluster analysis for the matrices. Three hundre...
