Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) Variation between individuals in DNA fragment sizes cut by specific restriction enzymes; polymorphic sequences that result in RFLPs are used as markers on both physical maps and genetic linkage maps.

Site-specific mutations can be made by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis, by splicing of restriction fragments, by transposons, and by PCR with mutation-creating primers.

RFLP Restriction fragment length polymorphism. A difference in restriction fragment length between individuals due to loss or gain of a restriction enzyme site due to point mutation, or insertion or deletion between consecutive sites.
Full article >>>

The chemical bonds that the enzymes cleave can be reformed by other enzymes known as ligases, so that restriction fragments carved from different chromosomes or genes can be spliced together, provided their ends are complementary (more below).

A technique in which DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) are used as reference markers for mapping in relation to known genes or other RFLP loci.
