Abstract excerpt
Thirty-six koalas in a free-range Queensland population were fingerprinted using an M13 probe in combination with MspI digestion. The technique was found to be highly repeatable, with estimates of 0.1-1.6% within-gel error and 0.1-2.5% between-gel error. Of the 43 different-size fingerprint bands produced in the population, only 2 bands were common to all 36 koalas. Ten bands were quite rare, occurring at a...
