“…The presence of dsRNA in the recipient tip isolates was confirmed either by CF11 chromatography (isolates 99020 and 06111) or RT-PCR (isolate 93672). In order to confirm that the tip isolates were identical in genotype with the original recipient isolate, their genotypes were determined using both mitochondrial markers (primer pairs ML1 and ML2; White et al 1990, or Mito5, MLS, and MLF;Garbelotto et al 1998), and multilocus nuclear genotyping with the M13 primer . M13 fingerprinting was also used to control the quality of DNA samples used for the screening of viral genetic material potentially integrated in the host genome.…”
