Can the primers used for the RAPD analysis of zingiberaceae be used for the family marantaceae?
RAPD markers are not species-specific markers, though some primers work better than others in terms of resolution or generation of polymorphic fragments. But essentially any 10-mer sequence has the potential to work.
dear friend:
As Mr. Alfonso said, it is unspecific primers it is only giving ploymorphic fragments, there are two commonly available RAPD primers sires (A and K) each one twenty primers so totally 40 primers it will give multiple bands which it will help in your studies (sequence of these primers available in internet you can download and produce your primers material).
Hi,
RAPD primers are not specific, so you can use RAPD kits available in some companies. See the website below.
