Abstract
The present invention provides a method for identifying animal species, said method comprises a step of amplifying a DNA fragment by PCR using a DNA in a sample as a template and animal-specific DNA sequences as a primer pair, wherein the animal-specific DNA sequences are derived from a ATP synthase subunit 8 gene or a region proximal thereto of a mitochondrial genome; and a step of detecting the amplified DNA fragment.
Claims4
A method for detecting a mammal-specific DNA using a primer pair,
- wherein the primer pair is a combination of the DNA sequence ID NO:
- 1 and the DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
A kit for detecting an animal-derived component present in a sample comprising:
- at least one primer pair of a combination of the DNA sequence ID NO:
- 1 and the DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2.
