Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP)
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) is a type of polymorphism that results from variation in the DNA sequence recognized by restriction enzymes.

restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) A heritable difference in DNA fragment length and fragment number; passed from generation to generation in a codominant way.

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) are variation in DNA fragment banding patterns of electrophoresed restriction digests of DNA from different individuals of a species.

Using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis, White and Cavenee demonstrated the first proof that loss of a protective suppressor gene, one that prevents cells from becoming malignant, can trigger cancer [Nature 305: 779-784 (1983)].

Markers can be expressed regions of DNA (genes) or some segment of DNA with no known coding function but whose pattern of inheritance can be determined. See RFLP, restriction fragment length polymorphism.

RFLPRestriction 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.
