Abstract excerpt
Single, short primers of arbitrary nucleotide sequence were used in polymerase chain reactions to amplify regions of DNA isolated from several melanopline and oedipodine grasshoppers collected from local Saskatchewan populations. This represents one of the first applications of the method, called randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (or RAPD), to natural populations. Twenty-four different oligonucleotide primers,...
