The profiling system to be developed will be based on some known regions of DNA used for fingerprinting African Elephants. The African Elephants were fingerprinted by DNA profling each region of DNA separately, and processing 9 regions of DNA, means 9 separate DNA reactions per animal. Our plan is to &#8216;multiplex&#8217; these regions, so that we can profile 3 or regions of DNA in a single reaction. In a way that has been done with humans to allow DNA labs to more easiliy, quickly and less expensively profile people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The multiplexing will be achieved by using largely trial and error. By mixing the raw profiling material together and trying various conditions, stabilizers and techniques. Additionally we will likely redesign the DNA primers (which are the DNA &#8216;keys&#8217; designed to revel to use the DNA profile in each region). The redesign will allow the reactions to work in together in a single reaction tube. We will have a small team of persons dedicated to this task over, including technical staff from Fauna-Flora International. Profiling and Population Analysis Once we are satisfied with the technique and methods for profiling we will then begin to work on the samples recieved from Cambodia. A sample of dung is purified and DNA isolated. Then our DNA profiling system will be implimented upon each sample and a profile will be obtained. By looking at the number of unique profiles from the samples, and using statistical calcuations we plan to be able to find the population of Cambodian Elephants left in the wild. This information will be used to help in the conservation of the few remaining populations of Elephants in Cambodia and the scientific techniques developed will be further used to help profile other populations of Elephants in other countries in Asia.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home DNA Profiling Cambodian Elephants For Conservation DNA SOLUTIONS is proud to be involved with the conservation of elephants of Cambodia in conjunction with Fauna &amp; Flora International.DNA profiling Cambodian Elephants for conservation The project has two stages: Research Phase Profiling and Population Analysis Research Phase In the research phase of the project we hope [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":397,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dnaeffect.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dnaeffect.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dnaeffect.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnaeffect.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnaeffect.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/dnaeffect.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":421,"href":"https:\/\/dnaeffect.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1\/revisions\/421"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnaeffect.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dnaeffect.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnaeffect.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dnaeffect.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
