Mitochondrial DNA control region polymorphisms: genetic markers for ecological studies of marine turtles.

Molecular ecology - 1 Aug 1994

Norman J A, Moritz C, Limpus C J

Abstract excerpt

We describe a rapid and sensitive method for the detection of population-specific genetic markers in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the use of such markers to analyse population structure of marine turtles. A series of oligonucleotide primers specific for the amplification of the mtDNA control reg...
