摘要
用一对根据人线粒体细胞色素b基因保守区序列设计的引物,以一枚恐龙蛋内DNA为模板,在PCR上扩增出大约170bp的基因片段。序列测定后经INTERNET联网的BLAST数据库类似性检索,结果表明,该序列与人类线粒体细胞色素b基因的序列完全相同(96-100%相似)。因此,可以肯定实验材料本身有严重污染。
A 170bp PCR products was amplified the DNA in a dinosaur egg using primers designed from the conserved regions of human cytochrome b gene and was sequenced.BLAST search through INTERNET for homology detection showed that the sequence was almose identical with the human mitochondria cytochrome b gene(96-100% similarity).Therefore we can conclude that the dinosaur egg itself has been seriously contaminated.
