Technique / Genetics / Genotyping / Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Technique

Technique that utilizes low-stringency polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification with single primers of arbitrary sequence to generate strain-specific arrays of anonymous DNA fragments. RAPD technique may be used to determine taxonomic identity, assess kinship relationships, analyze mixed genome samples, and create specific probes. Year introduced: 1996

Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Protocol protocol
The Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method is based on the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) using short (usually 10 nucleotide) primers of arbitrary sequences. Polymorphism of amplified fragments are caused by: (1) base substitutions or deletions in the ...
