DNA sequencing

COI amplification used the pair of primers, FishF1 and FishR1(Ward et al., 2005). PCR was carried out in Thermo Cycler with a 25 μL volumes, containing 8.5 μL sterile nuclease free water, 2 μL of each primer , 12.5 μL Go Taq® Green Master Mix (Promega Inc, U.S.A.) and 2 μL of template DNA. PCR program used a thermal profile, including a preliminary denaturation for 2 minutes at 95 °C followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 95 °C for 40 seconds, annealing at 52°C for 40 seconds, and extension at 72°C for 90 seconds, and finally a single extra extension at 72°C for 5 minutes. PCR products were confirmed via gel electrophoresis using 1.5% agarose gel stained with SybrGreen fluorescent dye for band characterization through Gel Imaging System. Subsequently, PCR products were sent for sequencing at Sangon Biotech Cooperation Ltd (Shanghai, P.R. China)

why should you visit mkomazi national park? 🦏

Mkomazi National Park is located in northeastern Tanzania on the Kenyan border, in Kilimanjaro Region and Tanga Region. It was established as a game reserve in 1951 and upgraded to a national park in 2006. Mkomazi National Park has a truly spectacular wilderness! It provides a common base for migratory herds and has a classic arid areas. The park covers over 3,234 square kilometres (323,400 ha), and is dominated by Acacia-Commiphora vegetation; it is contiguous with Kenya's Tsavo West National Park. The area commonly called 'Mkomazi' is actually the union of two previous game reserves, the Umba Game Reserve in the east (in Lushoto District, Tanga Region) and the Mkomazi Game Reserve in the west (in Same District, Kilimanjaro Region); in government documents they are sometimes called the Mkomazi-Umba Game Reserves. Of the two, Mkomazi is larger, and has more diversity of relief and habitat, and a longer shared border with Tsavo West National Park. In the rest of this entry, ...

DID You Know Tanzania is The Home of Coconut Crab?

Tanzania is the home of the coconut crab. This crab, the largest crab in the world (and reportedly one of the most delicious), can be found on Chumbe Island of Zanzibar. At up to 1 m (3 ft) long, coconut crabs are not simply the largest land crabs. They are the largest arthropods, the group that includes insects, spiders and crustaceans, that live on land. These crabs has the advantage of living underwater where its weight is supported. Despite their name they eat a varied diet, including lots of fleshy fruit, and they also prey on smaller crabs. When they decide to eat a coconut, they rip strips of husk off with their pincers, then hit it repeatedly until it breaks open. They live in underground burrows, lined with fibres from coconut husks. Unlike most crabs, they are almost entirely land-based, only returning to the sea to lay their eggs. Source: tanzania tourism board CLICK HERE TO READ ALL ARTICLE
