| (Restriction Fragment Length polymorphism) is a technique that exploits variations in homologous DNA sequences. It refers to a difference between samples of homologous DNA molecules that come from differing locations of restriction enzyme sites.-They are broken into pieces by restriction enzymes and the resulting fragments are separated by lengths in gel electro. |
