Forensic entomology is the study of insects found around the crime scene and are helpful for the estimation of time elapsed since death of a person i.e., post mortem interval (PMI). There are number techniques available for the identification of insect species and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is one of those. RAPD is a useful technique designed for the detection of sequence polymorph...

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...

Random-amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers (8) are a powerful tool for genome analysis (7). Nevertheless, the difficulties to achieve a high pattern repeatability represent a major drawback for the routine implementation of RAPD markers. Amplification products obtained depend on various factors, such as the concentration of the reaction mixture constituents, the source of Taq DNA polymeras...

to allow cultivation of hemp varieties with a 9–THC content below 0.3%. By 1998 hemp was reintroduced The objective was to study the genetic structure and degree of in practically all of Europe (Bócsa and Karus, 1998), variability of hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) varieties. Six varieties of hemp were analyzed by random amplified polymorphic DNA though in some countries significant resources are sti...

Propagation through tissue culture by using orchid seed as explants will produce a lot of plants. This study aims to measure the genetic character plantlets that were regenerated from seeds which have been resulted in vitro culture. The original plants produced was determined Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) molecular markers. results showed primers used RAPD analysis polymorphic band pa...

Three linkage maps of the genome of the microhymenopteran Trichogramma brassicae were constructed from the analysis of segregation of random amplified polymorphic DNA markers in three F2 populations. These populations were composed of the haploid male progeny of several virgin F1 females, which resulted from the breeding of four parental lines that were nearly fixed for different random amplifi...

101 isolates of brucella spp. including the reference (n=7) and the iranian field strains belonging to last years 1961-2003 (n=94) were biotyped and classified into 9 biotypes. random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) analysis using a ten mer-ap4 primer was generated 72 reproduciable dna band. the typeability was 100%. the thirteen isolates were classified into five groups, each containing 2-4 b...
