Before the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was
established, DNA fingerprinting technology has relied for
years on Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism
(RFLP) and Variable Number of Tandom Repeats (VNTR)
analysis, a very efficient technique but quite laborious
and not suitable for high throughput mapping. Since its,
development, PCR has provided a new and powerful tool
for DNA fingerprinting.peer-reviewe
