Isolation of Mitochondrial Control Region for White-nest Swiftlets (Aerodramus fuciphagus) Using Primer Walking Techniques

This paper reports on a novel dna sequence located at the mitochondrial control region (d-loop) of the white-nest swiftlet (aerodramus fuciphagus). this hypervariable control region sequence is potentially useful for studying genetic relationships among the whitenest swiftlet populations. the isolation of the control region involves a primer walking technique, which is simple, fast and cost-effective. in this study, the variability of the control region was assessed and discussed.
