RFLP Analysis

RFLP analysis, or Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism analysis, is a technique used to study genetic differences among individuals. It involves cutting DNA into pieces using specific enzymes and then separating these pieces by size through a process called gel electrophoresis. The resulting pattern of DNA fragments can reveal variations between individuals, which may help in identifying genetic relationships, diagnosing diseases, or in forensic science for solving crimes. This method is valuable because it provides insights into genetic diversity and inheritance, making it an important tool in genetics and biotechnology.
