After four years of attempting to trace hosta ancestry through DNA fingerprinting, Dave Koetje has come to a conclusion: “Hostas are weird,” he says.Since 2002 Koetje, a Calvin College biology ...

Several methods can be used to profile cocoa DNA, but the team at UWI uses single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and relies on the SNP profiles of over 2,300 cocoa varieties in the CRC curated ...

Using new DNA "fingerprinting" techniques, two University of Minnesota researchers have become the first to unequivocally separate hemp plants from marijuana plants with genetic markers.

AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism): A DNA fingerprinting technique that combines restriction enzyme digestion with selective PCR amplification to detect multiple polymorphisms.

P. K. Gupta, J. K. Roy, M. Prasad, Single nucleotide polymorphisms: A new paradigm for molecular marker technology and DNA polymorphism detection with emphasis on their use in plants, Current Science, ...

DNA 2011-the third International Conference on DNA Fingerprinting, past, present and the future started at the Geological Survey of India on Saturday.The event is first of its kind in north India.

Background: Genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may influence individual variation in DNA repair capacity and may play an important role in carcinogenesis. We investigated the role of genetic ...
