This file is about:
- DNA testing, DNA typing, genetic fingerprinting
- Majority of DNA is the same for organisms in the same species but there are pieces, regions/patterns that differ within the species
- Knowing these DNA sequences is the basis of DNA profiling
- DNA sequencing; determining the nucleotide sequence of a given DNA fragment
- Knowing the sequence of DNA fragments can help the sweetpotato breeder/researcher to apply molecular markers in sweetpotato breeding to:
- Cultivar identification
- determination of ‘hybridity’
- Assess genetic diversity
- genetic mapping
- gene tagging
- gene flow
- molecular evolution study
Subjects: DNA fingerprinting of sweetpotato
