restriction fragment length polymorphism
- restriction fragment length polymorphism
restriction fragment length polymorphism n variation in the length of a restriction fragment produced by a specific restriction enzyme acting on DNA from different individuals that usu. results from a genetic mutation (as an insertion or deletion) and that may be used as a genetic marker
called also RFLP
* * *
(RFLP) a genetic polymorphism in DNA sequence that can be detected on the basis of differences in DNA fragment lengths produced by digestion with a specific restriction endonuclease.
