  • OLIGONUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES THAT IDENTIFY SPECIES OF ANIMAL
    Publication number: 20140234849
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for identifying animal species, said method comprises a step of amplifying a DNA fragment by PCR using a DNA in a sample as a template and animal-specific DNA sequences as a primer pair, wherein the animal-specific DNA sequences are derived from a ATP synthase subunit 8 gene or a region proximal thereto of a mitochondrial genome; and a step of detecting the amplified DNA fragment.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 20, 2014
    Publication date: August 21, 2014
    Applicants: Incorporated Administrative Agency Food And Agricultural Materials Inspection, NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF AGROBIOLOGICAL SCIENCES
    Inventors: Toyoko Kusama, Koichi Kadowaki, Tetsuya Nomura
