MeSH Heading: Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA Technique
Tree Number(s): E05.393.620.500.687; E05.601.700
Unique ID: D019105
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D019105
Scope Note: Technique that utilizes low-stringency polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification with single primers of arbitrary sequence to generate strain-specific arrays of anonymous DNA fragments. RAPD technique may be used to determine taxonomic identity, assess kinship relationships, analyze mixed genome samples, and create specific probes.
