Use of repetitive (repetitive extragenic palindromic and enterobacterial repetitive intergeneric consensus) sequences and the polymerase chain reaction to fingerprint the genomes of Rhizobium meliloti isolates and other soil bacteria
Open accessAbstract
The distribution of dispersed repetitive DNA (repetitive extragenic palindromic [REP] and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus [ERIC]) sequences in the genomes of a number of gram-negative soil bacteria was examined by using conserved primers corresponding to REP and ERIC sequences and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The patterns of the resulting PCR products were analyzed on agarose gels and found to be highly specific for each strain. The REP and ERIC PCR patterns of a series of Rhizobium meliloti isolates, previously ordered in a phylogenetic tree based on allelic variations at 14 enzyme loci (B. D. Eardly, L. A. Materon, N. H. Smith, D. A. Johnson, M. D. Rumbaugh, and R. K. Selander, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 56:187-194), were determined. Isolates which had been postulated to be closely related by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis also revealed similar REP and ERIC PCR patterns, suggesting that the REP and ERIC PCR method is useful for the identification and classification of bacterial strains.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
