title: (GTG)5 allows the distinction between different isolates of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
abstract: We have not been able to distinguish different isolates from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans by morphological means. However, they differ on the molecular level and strains from several geographic regions can be identified with the help of "genetic fingerprints" using the oligonucleotide probe (GTG)5.
