Application of polymorphic DNA sequences to differentiate the origin of decomposed bovine meat.

Abstract excerpt

Two bovine meat samples were analysed although the samples were already in a state of advanced decomposition. The isolated DNA was extremely degraded and not suitable for conventional DNA fingerprinting (profiling), thus the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was applied to screen for a Y-chromosome specific fragment and the loci of the two milk proteins kappa-casein and beta-lactoglobulin. Both samples contained...
