Simple sequences (or microsatellites) are stretches of monotonous repetitions of short (1–5
bp) nucleotide motifs that are distributed across the whole genome in eukaryotes. They are …

Tandemly repetitive DNA is a major component of all eukaryotic genomes. This fact has
been known for almost 30 years and research on this class of DNA is still being done. Its …

This exciting new book describes the use of DNA fingerprinting and its application in a wide
area of plant and fungal research. It presents a thorough theoretical introduction to DNA …

In less than a decade, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has evolved into the common
denominator of molecular biology for nucleic acid research. The most important impact of …

Thirteen (GT) n and four (CT) n microsatellite loci (n= 10 or more and n= 20 or more,
respectively) have been isolated from a partial genomic library of brown trout and …

Hypotheses about chimpanzee social behavior, phylogeography, and evolution were
evaluated by noninvasive genotyping of free-ranging individuals from 20 African sites …

In many bird species, males and females cannot be discriminated on the basis of external
characteristics. The problems associated with reliable sex identification were overcome by …

Tomato genomic libraries were screened for the presence of simple sequence repeats
(SSRs) with seventeen synthetic oligonucleotide probes, consisting of 2-to 5-basepair motifs …

DNA oligonucleotide and amplification fingerprinting have been successfully used to detect
genetic polymorphisms in 15 representative species and cultivars of the genus Musa …

Oral candidosis has become an increasingly important problem in HIV-infected individuals.
At present, the small body of published literature on the characterization of the Candida …
