Genetic characterization of wild stocks of prawns macrobrachium rosenbergii using random polymorphic DNA markers.

Random amplified polymorphic DNA was used to study the genetic diversity and assay polymorphisms among eleven populations of Macrobrachium rosenbergii in Malaysia. The RAPD procedure generated 205 markers in the 11 populations. and a large level of polymorphisms was observed in all populations. The...
