ØSS-PCR requires a reaction for each individual, slowing studies of
zooplankton population dynamics, which
require identification of thousands of individuals.
ØTo date >10,000 SS-PCR reactions have been done.
ØSS-PCR protocols are available for 6 Pseudocalanus species and cryptic
species of several other
copepod genera.
