Abstract

Aim: Mitochondrial DNA is widely used in order to estimate the amount of genetic variability within and between different species, because of its conserved structure and organization. Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Polymerase Chain Reaction (RAPD-PCR) can be used for both systematic and genetic studies. In this study, it was aimed to investigate mitochondrial DNA variation of some West Anatolia Gammarus species (Crustacea: Amphipoda) by RAPD-PCR.
