Figure 5From: Discovery and partial characterization of a non-LTR retrotransposon that may be associated with abdominal segment deformity disease (ASDD) in the whiteleg shrimp Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannameiSouthern blot for detection of NLRS in host shrimp DNA. RNase A-treated total DNA (5 μg) from ASDD shrimp was subjected to restriction enzyme digestion followed by agarose gel electrophoresis (A) and Southern blotting (B) using a DIG labeled probe specific for NLRS. M = marker; 1 = BamHI digest; 2 = NdeI digest; 3 = PstI digest; 4 = SalI digest; 5 = XbaI digest; 6 = XhoI digest.Back to article page
