Popis: Molecular genetic approaches such as polymerase chain amplification (PCR) of target genomic sequences are finding wide application in systematic and taxonomic studies of arthropods. PCR-based techniques that preclude the need for target DNA sequence information of the species of interest facilitate molecular taxonomic studies. Two such techniques, tDNA-PCR (DNA encoding tRNAs is the analyte) and RAPD-PCR (randomly amplified polymorphic DNA) were investigated for their ability to differentiate certain North American Culicoides spp. larvae and adults.
