The following points highlight the six common types of DNA markers. The types are: 1. Single-nucleotide Polymorphism 2. Short Tandem Repeats 3. Variable Number Tandem Repeats 4. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism 5. Randomly Amplified Polymorpohic DNA 6. Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism. Type # 1. Single-nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs or "Snips"): The single-nucleotide polymorphism is a single base-pair change or a point [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of DNA Fingerprinting 2. Basis of DNA Fingerprinting 3. Applications. Meaning of DNA Fingerprinting: Presence or absence of restriction sites in the genome can be used as genetic markers. Similarly, another type of variation in the length of repetitive DNA sequence cluster may be used for a wide variety of genetic [...]
