Course content
Izolation of bacterial recombinant plazmid. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) - aster yellows phytoplasma detection . Random fragment lenght polymorphism (RFLP) and gel electrophoresis in agarose gel. Analysis of microsatelite DNA locus polymorphisms. PCR In situ (PRINS) - physical localization of repetitive sequences on chromosomes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) - physical localization of chromosome repetitive sequences.
