A COMPARATIVE-ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN EEL (ANGUILLA-ANGUILLA AND ANGUILLA-ROSTRATA) GENOMIC DNA - 5S RDNA POLYMORPHISM PERMITS THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE 2 POPULATIONS
M. Nieddu et al., A COMPARATIVE-ANALYSIS OF EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN EEL (ANGUILLA-ANGUILLA AND ANGUILLA-ROSTRATA) GENOMIC DNA - 5S RDNA POLYMORPHISM PERMITS THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE 2 POPULATIONS, Genome, 41(5), 1998, pp. 728-732
We studied possible molecular and cytological correlations between the
European (Anguilla anguilla) and the American (Anguilla rostrata) eel
, using either low molecular weight highly repetitive sequences isolat
ed from genomic DNA of the two species, or highly conserved sequences,
such as 45S or 5S rDNA, as probes. A clearcut difference was found on
ly in filter hybridization experiments carried out using 5S rDNA as pr
obe.
