RFLP


Classical RFLP analysis by Southern blotting and hybridization required the testing laboratory to have on hand DNA molecules from which to make probes. Delays and difficulties in the dissemination of these DNAs among laboratories occurred.

RFLP is one of the original applications of DNA analysis to forensic investigation. With the development of newer, more efficient DNA-analysis techniques, RFLP is not used as much as it once was because it requires relatively large amounts of DNA.
