Figure 2

Full AFLP gel showing fingerprints of three genotypes and a replicated bi-chimerism dilution series. Left three lanes: AFLP fingerprints of genotypes “A”, “B”, and “C”. Genotypes A and B are clutch-mates and likely half-siblings (see Methods). C is from an independent collection. Each individual fingerprint differs by at least 10 presence and absence bands from any other. Remaining lanes: AFLP fingerprints from a DNA dilution series between samples A and B, showing the detection of different polymorphic bands at different dilutions. Black arrowheads show bands unique to genotype A; white arrowheads depict bands unique to genotype B. As shown, each band shows a unique sensitivity and appears at a different dilution. Overall, multiple bands appear at about a 10% dilution, indicating the baseline sensitivity of this technique to detect chimerism.
