摘要: Abstract Random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) is widely used to detect polymorphisms in many organisms. Individual (or strain) specific amplified bands are generated with single or pairs primers PCR reactions and can serve as genetic markers. We have this method generate a large number reproducible primers, random retroviral related, on 92 human samples. Theoretically, RAPD presents logical approach for assessing variability among individuals. ten related (12, 20 22 bp) eight (10 assess individual differences the context testing hypothesis schizophrenia.
