Summary Introduction
To determine:
The advantages and disadvantages of RFLP with comparison to conventional biochemical testing.
Introduction:
Restriction fragment length polymorphism, RFLP, is a technique used in molecular biology to exploit a change in DNA fragments done by restriction enzymes. RFLPs are used as DNA markers for genetic maps.
