Application of the RAPD technique in tilapia fish: species and subspecies identification

Abstract: Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was applied to three species of the tilapia genus Oreochromis and four subspecies of 0. niloticus. Thirteen random lO-mer primers were used to assay polymorphisms within and between populations. Different RAPD fragment patterns were observed for different species, although not always for different subspecies. Evidence is presented that RAPD markers might be useful for systematic investigation at the level of species and subspecies.

“…Table 3 shows the similarity values within-(on the diagonal) and between-populations (above the diagonal). Within-population indices were very high, ranging from 95.36% to 100%, and greater than those found among other species of fish using RAPD analysis (Bardakci and Skibinski, 1994;Foo et al, 1995;Bielawsky and Pumo, 1997). Likewise, the genetic similarity between populations of the same species was smaller than the intrapopulation similarities.…”

“…Genomic DNA was extracted by an NaCl protocol (Bardakci and Skibinski, 1994) and then placed in 30 µL TE buffer (0.5 M Tris-EDTA). The samples were quantified using a fluorimeter (Qubit -Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA) and diluted to 5 ng/µL.…”
