DNA analysis indicates that Asian elephants are native to Borneo and are therefore a high priority for conservation. by Prithiviraj Fernando, T N C Vidya, John Payne, Michael Stuewe, Geoffrey Davison, Raymond J Alfred, P Andau, Edwin Bosi, Annelisa Kilbourn, Don J Melnick

“…If shown to be a unique indigenous population, this would extend the natural species range of the Asian elephant by 1300 km, and therefore Borneo elephants would have much greater conservation importance than if they were a feral population. We compared DNA of Borneo elephants to that of elephants from across the range of the Asian elephant, using a fragment of mitochondrial DNA, including part of the hypervariable d-loop, and five autosomal microsatellite loci. …”

Protocol to Identify Unknown Flanking DNA Using Partially Overlapping Primer-based PCR for Genome Walking by Mengya Jia, Dongqin Ding, Xiaohua Liu, Haixing Li

“…In the subsequent high-temperature (65 °C) cycle, the target single-stranded DNA is converted into double-stranded DNA by the sequence-specific primer, attributed to the presence of this primer complement, while non-target single-stranded DNA cannot become double-stranded because it lacks a binding site for both primers. …”
