DNA polymorphism analysis and pathogenicity assays were used to characterize strains of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola collected from rice leaves in West Africa. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction, fluorescent amplified fragment-length polymorphism (FAFLP) analyses were assessed for molecular c...

Quality carcass and non-carcass are two inseparable components that result from slaughtering animals with high economic value. The aims study is effect of polimorfisme DGAT1 gene on hot cold carcass, neck traits in Indonesia sheep. A total 50 rams used this were collected 10 Barbados Cross Sheep (BCS), Compass Agrinac (CAS), 15 Javanese Thin-Tailed (JTTS), Jonggol (JS). sheep slaughtered at 10-...

Growing consumer awareness is forcing food producers to supply raw material and products of increasingly high quality health-promoting properties. Knowledge the genetic background characteristics taking on great importance, enabling selection based molecular markers. The increasing throughput techniques, in combination with an expanding bioinformatics infrastructure, leading continual improveme...

Blackwood et al. (1) assert that terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) data cannot be used to estimate the species level diversity of bacterial communities. While I do not argue with their analytical techniques, nor the interpretation of their results, their conclusion is essentially moot as T-RFLP techniques are rarely used (nor should they be used) to study the diversity ...

A PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis method that analyzes a part of the dnaJ gene was designed for the rapid and accurate identification of Staphylococcus spp. XapI or Bsp143I digestion of the PCR-generated products rendered distinctive RFLP patterns that allowed 41 reference species and subspecies to be identified with a high degree of specificity. The novel method wa...

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms in polymerase chain reaction amplified fragments (PCR-RFLP) of mitochondrial DNA were used to differentiate species of New World screwworms (Diptera: Calliphoridae). Twenty-seven restriction enzymes were screened on five regions of mtDNA. Eleven restriction fragment length patterns differentiated New World screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel), ...
