ABSTRACT:
Africanized honey bees are identified by using a DNA probe capable of identifying a specific repeating gene sequence in the honey bee DNA which is a diagnostic characteristic of African honey bees when located on a defined restriction endonuclease fragment from bee genomic DNA. When the DNA probe is applied to an electrophoresis gel on which the restriction fragments are resolved, the probe hybridizes to the diagnostic fragment, if present. The hybridization to the repeating sequence can then be detected by detection of the marker.
