Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Protocol



Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) Protocol (archive)

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 priming sites, (2) Insertions that render priming sites too distant to support amplification, or (3) insertions or deletions that change the size of the amplified fragment.
