Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP)

In this article we will discuss about restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Restriction enzymes are site-specific DNAses that cleave a DNA molecule whenever the recognition sequence, which is usually a 4-6 base palindrome, is present. Because of the enzyme's sequence specificity, digestion of a particular DNA results in a reproducible array of fragments. RFLP, or length differences in homologous fragments [...]
