DNA Fingerprints of Two Tilapia Fish Species of Euphrates River at Governorate ofAl-Muthanna Using RAPD Markers

DNA polymorphism and relationships among the three different riverine populations of spotted snakehead (Channa punctata)

“…Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is the simplest and most popular PCR (polymerase chain reaction) based technique which is easy to use, fast and low cost. RAPD has been used to find out the genetic variation in genus Synodontis (Abu-Almaaty and Ebied 2018), genus Scarus (Mohammed 2018), Coptodon zillii and Oreochromis aureus (Al-Khafaji et al 2019), Amblyceps mangois (Mukhopadhyay and Bhattacharjee 2019), Carangidae family (Al-Faisal et al 2019), Monopterus cuchia (Abedin et al 2020), Clarias batrachus (Miah et al 2020), guppy fish (Nuradha et al 2021), and Clarias gariepinus (Adesola et al 2020, Normala 2021). The study on genetic diversity of Channa punctata (Bloch 1793) was carried out by some workers such as Nagarajan et al (2006), Masih and Masih (2010), Bhat et al (2014), Kashyap et al (2016) but still information on comparative aspect of DNA polymorphism in different populations of the C. punctata is scanty.…”
