Polymerase chain reaction banding patterns of the 5S rDNA gene as a diagnostic tool for the discrimination of South American mullets of the genus Mugil
2011-07-01
Abstract excerpt
The mullets of the family Mugilidae, and in particular the species of the genus Mugil, are characterized by highly conserved morphological features, which hinder taxonomic classification considerably. Given this, the present study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the 5S rDNA gene - a rapid and low cost genotyping marker - for the discrimination of Mugil species. Variations in the banding pattern permitted the r...
