Objective To establish a technique of random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) analysis of genetic markers and to understand the population genetic diversity in tree shrews(Tupaia belangeri chinensis).Methods\Forty random oligonucleotide primers were optimized.Some of those could be used to effectively analyze the tree shrew RAPD loci were used to amplify the genomic DNA.The results were analyzed for the population genetic characteristics of the tree shrews with Popgene 1.32 and RAPDistance Package Version 1....
