Abstract
A PCR-RFLP method to confirm the identification of four Pelodiscus sinensis strains (Taihu Lake strain, Taiwan strain, Yellow River strain and Japanese strain) was developed and evaluated. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the partial sequences of mitochondrial NADH4, COX I and NADH5-NADH6 genes of 60 individuals from the four P. sinensis strains. Bgl I, Hpa II and Cla I were selected for cutting NADH4, COX I and NADH5-NADH6 PCR products, respectively, and each strain has its unique restriction band patterns. The result showed that all the 140 samples tested can be correctly identified based on the combination of the three digested fragments pattern. This study provides an effective method to distinguish the four main strains of P. sinensis.
期刊介绍：
Previously published under the title DNA Sequence (Vols 1-19.3), Mitochondrial DNA accepts original high-quality reports based on mapping, sequencing and analysis of mitochondrial DNA and RNA. Descriptive papers on DNA sequences from mitochondrial genomes, and also analytical papers in the areas of population genetics, medical genetics, phylogenetics and human evolution that use mitochondrial DNA as a source of evidence for studies will be considered for publication. The editorial board will also consider manuscripts that examine population genetic and systematic theory that specifically address the use of mitochondrial DNA sequences.
