The proposed research project was set up to establish DNA-based molecular DNA assays for the DNA fingerprinting (i.e. profiling) of abalone. This would provide tools for examining populations differences at a molecular genetic level.
This project has resulted in the production of a bank of quality-assured, non-infectious, quantifiable, molecular test controls that can be provided to any diagnostic laboratory in a ready-to-use form to assist them with the implementation of specific aquatic animal disease diagnostic tests. In...
