| a new fast real-time pcr method for the identification of three sibling apodemus species (a. sylvaticus, a. flavicollis, and a. alpicola) in italy. | the identification of field mice apodemus flavicollis, apodemus sylvaticus, and apodemus alpicola represents a challenge for field scientists due to their highly overlapping morphological traits and habitats. here, we propose a new fast real-time pcr method to discriminate the three species by species-specific taqman assays. primers and probes were designed based on the alignment of 54 cyt-b partial sequences from 25 different european countries retrieved from genbank. taqman assays were then te ... | 2018 | 29876059 |
