Extraction, PCR amplification, and sequencing of mitochondrial DNA from scent mark and feces in the giant panda

Abstract 10.1002/(SICI)1098-2361(1998)17:63.3.CO;2-G To expand the feasibility of applying simple, efficient, non-invasive DNA preparation methods using samples that can be obtained from giant pandas living in the wild, we investigated the use of scent markings and fecal samples. Giant panda–specific oligonucleotide primers were used to amplify a portion of the mitochondrial DNA control region as well […]
