Random Amplified Polymorphic Dna Technique
Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is a molecular technique used to detect genetic variations between organisms. It is a simple, cost-effective, and reliable method to identify genetic polymorphisms that helps researchers to understand genetic relationships between organisms. RAPD can be used to identify species, understand genetic diversity, and as an efficient tool to differentiate closely related species. It is also used in gene mapping, heredity studies, and assessing the genetic health of a population. RAPD is especially useful in species where traditional genotyping methods may not be appropriate due to gene mutation rate.
