DNA Analysis |  |
| Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) makes copies of a DNA segment. RFLP mapping (restriction fragment length polymporphism) detects patterns in DNA that can indicate the presence of a gene for a trait. Both PCR and RFLP analysis can be used in DNA fingerprinting for genealogical studies and forensics. |
