  • Abstract
    Meriones crassus, Meriones persicus, and Meriones libycus from different areas of Khorasan provinces and Yazd province were studied by use of Random Amplified DNA polymorphism (RAPD) technique. DNA samples were analyzed by use of nine primers. Genetic distance among samples varied between 0.24 and 0.78. Dendrogram designed on the base of genetic distance shows separation of these species. In this research, RAPD was used for analyzing the genetic variations among these species.
