Characterization and Use of a Multiplex PCR-based System: Random amplified Polymorphic DNA
Random amplified polymorhic DNA (RAPD) is a PCR-based marker system that makes use of universal sets of short oligonucleotides that amplify random DNA fragments under low-stringency conditions. The RAPD marker system has found widespread use and possesses a number of very positive features, being a multiplex and universal system. The present studies characterize and evaluate the properties of the
