Isolation, Characterization and Genetic Diversity of Aspergillus flavus in Animal Feed by Dina Al-Shinawy, Reda E.M. Moghaieb, Sara B. Awaly, Gihan El-Moghazy, Dalia S. Ahmed

“…To assess the genetic variability among A. flavus strains, twelve inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) primers and seven Sequence Related Amplified Polymorphism (SRAP) primer combinations were utilized, producing scorable and reproducible banding patterns with about 52 % polymorphism. Various genetic diversity parameters, including polymorphic information content (PIC), effective multiplex ratio (EMR), marker index (MI), and resolving power (RP) were evaluated to determine effectiveness of the primers in distinguishing the genetic variations among the A. flavus strains. …”
