In order to develop genetic markers in rats, arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) was performed with single primers originally designed for microsatellite loci, instead of primers with short-sized and arbitrary nucleotide sequences. Each primer generated reliable and reproducible segments under optimal conditions. The fourteen amplification products have been successfully mapped to rat chromosomes by either linkage analysis using backcross progeny or chromosomal assignment with somatic cell hybrids. All of the loci were located on different chromosomes from those of the microsatellite loci, suggesting that sequence-specifically designed single primers can produce anonymous segments of genomic DNA showing polymorphisms. These markers should contribute to finding linkages for traits of interest in rats.

D004276 DNA, Satellite Highly repetitive DNA sequences found in HETEROCHROMATIN, mainly near centromeres. They are composed of simple sequences (very short) (see MINISATELLITE REPEATS) repeated in tandem many times to form large blocks of sequence. Additionally, following the accumulation of mutations, these blocks of repeats have been repeated in tandem themselves. The degree of repetition is on the order of 1000 to 10 million at each locus. Loci are few, usually one or two per chromosome. They were called satellites since in density gradients, they often sediment as distinct, satellite bands separate from the bulk of genomic DNA owing to a distinct BASE COMPOSITION.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
