After reading this article you will learn about the estimation of similarities between two individual taxa. The similarity data is used to estimate distance between two individual taxa. The illustrated example taken from Henry (1997) is as follows: Let us say we have data from RAPD results for 2 samples A and B. Similarity (F) can be calculated as Similarity [...]
After reading this article you will learn about:- 1. Determination of Recombination Value from the F2 Data 2. Determination of Recombination Value from Backcross (Testcross) Data. Determination of Recombination Value from the F2 Data: Four methods are available to estimate recombination value from the F2 data. For each of these methods, the F2 data given earlier to detect linkage is [...]
In this article we will discuss about the concept, steps and applications of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Concept of PCR: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) provides a simple and ingenious method for exponentially amplification of specific DNA sequences by in vitro DNA synthesis. This technique was developed by Kary Mullis at Cetus Corporation between 1983 and 1985. This technique has [...]
