Application of repetitive sequence-based PCR (inter-LINE PCR) for the analysis of genomic rearrangements and for the genome characterization on different taxonomic levels.
Oligonucleotide primers derived from consensus LINE-sequences generated highly reproducible, species-specific PCR product patterns suitable for the identification of genomic rearrangements and for the discrimination on different taxonomic levels of higher and lower eukaryotes and even prokaryotes.
