“…Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA can detect loci in several areas of a genome at the same time. Although RAPDs are considered to be dominant, meaning that do not allow to distinguish whether the amplified DNA segment is heterozygous or homozygous at a particular locus, they have has been widely used for taxonomic and phylogenetic studies (Bartish, Rumpunen & Nybom, 2000;Mokkamul, Chaveerach, Sudmoon & Tanee, 2007;Verma, Karihaloo, Tiwari, Magotra & Koul, 2007), for species discrimination (Chaveerach, Tanomtong, Sudmoon & Tanee, 2006;Zhang et al, 2007) and for phyleogeographic studies (Wu et al, 2006). However, to achieve reproducible profiles a strictly consistent reaction conditions is needed during the run of RAPDs methodology.…”
