Abstract excerpt
DNA fingerprinting has been used to detect genetic variation in the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata. Three different probes have been identified that can be used to detect DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms between strains of this species. The strains used in this study differ only in terms of their geographic origin or genetic background. One of the probes used is the bacteriophage vector...
