Purpose:

  • To develop a safer, faster, and more accessible method for resolving and visualizing SSR genotypes.
  • To adapt existing electrophoresis techniques for improved efficiency and clarity.
  • To eliminate the need for radioisotopes in SSR analysis.

Summary:

  • A novel method utilizes a modified vertical electrophoresis cell for rapid, uniform electrophoresis on short polyacrylamide gels.
  • SYBR Green staining allows direct visualization of DNA bands under ultraviolet light.
