High impact information on TFAM

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of TFAM

  • In the present study, both cDNA (2259 bp) and genomic DNA (16,666 bp) sequences were generated for the bovine TFAM gene using a combination of in silico cloning with targeted region PCR amplification [1].
