Band-cutting no more: A method for the isolation and purification of target PCR bands from multiplex PCR products using new technology.

abstract：:A molecular phylogenetic analysis was conducted on all of the known catadromous eel species of the genus Anguilla to assess their relationships and evolutionary history. The analyses of a total of 1427 bp of the mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA and 1140 bp of the complete cytochrome b gene sequences suggested that the ...
