Meaning
RFLP (plural RFLPs)
Acronym of restriction fragment length polymorphism.
Examples
Applications Analysis of RFLP variation in genomes was a vital tool in genome mapping and genetic disease analysis.
Between 1992 and 1996, arbitrary low ceilings were controversially put on match probabilities used in RFLP analysis rather than the higher theoretically computed ones.
RFLP analysis may be subdivided into single- (SLP) and multi-locus probe (MLP) paradigms.
RFLP tests require much bigger samples of DNA than do short tandem repeat (STR) tests.
An RFLP occurs when the length of a detected fragment varies between individuals.
However, they were not as discriminating as RFLP analysis.
