Examples of Molecular Markers | Plant Genetics

Molecular markers are DNA sequences, whose inheritance pattern can be established. Classic examples of molecular markers are: 1. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) 2. Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) 3. Amplified Fragments Length Polymorphism (AFLP) 4. Sequence Characterized Amplified Region (SCAR). Example # 1. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP): This novel non-PCR based approach is based on hybridization of probe [...]

3 Basic Categories of Molecular Markers | Biotechnology

Most molecular markers fall into one of three basic categories of techniques that use either hybridization or are based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR): Category # 1: Hybridization Based (non-PCR) Techniques: Category I includes restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, where probes are hybridized to filters containing DNA which has been digested with restriction enzymes. The resultant fragments are [...]
