IDENTIFICATION OF REPETITIVE POLYMORPHIC DNA LOCI IN OAK SPECIES

摘要

Our goal is to develop DNA based marker systems in order to assess the genetic variability of oak populations and to enable construction of genetic linkage maps. For these purposes, we prefer to develop systems that provide: (1) several alleles for a given locus; and (2) relatively simple analysis. Therefore, we are in the process of identifying repetitive elements of the nuclear genome such as micro and minisatellite loci. These marker systems provide us with co-dominant alleles that can be visualized by polymerase chain reaction based techniques.
