Analysis of mosquito bloodmeals by DNA profiling
1 Jul 1993
Abstract excerpt
Human specific genetic markers have been used to profile the human DNA found within a mosquito bloodmeal. In this technique, variable numbers of tandem repeat (VNTR) sequences are employed to prime amplification of human DNA in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the radiolabelled products are analysed by high resolution denaturing gel electrophoresis. Matching of DNA profiles allows identification of the...
