Fig. 3 in Inheritance of fifeen microsatellite loci in Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Fig. 3. Comparing artifactual bands to actual bands to determine allele as observed at the Ccmic25 locus. a) Chromatograph of sample exhibiting an artifactual band can be observed at the 136 bp peak. The geometric shape and configuration is not consistent with those of microsatellites. b) This chromatograph shows the characteristic high peak followed by a low peak expected when making a call around the 137 bp peak. To the lef of both peaks are very low broad bands, commonly observed during analysis. In homozygote individuals, these peaks may extend higher and resemble an artifactual band similar to what was observed in Fig. 3a.
