AMPLIFIED FRAGMENT LENGTH POLYMORPHISM
  • Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AmpFLP) is a popular DNA finger printing technique
  • It remains attractive because of its relatively less complicated operation and the cost-effectiveness of the procedure.
  • By using the PCR analysis to amplify the minisatellite loci of the human cell, this method proved quicker in recovery than the RFLP.
  • However, due to the use of gel in its analysis phase, there are issues of bunching of the VTRN's, causing misidentifications in the process.
