Random amplified polymorphic DNA is a popular method of DNA fingerprinting.Small primers with random sequences are used during this technique.These primers do not have a specific target.Instead, the random primers indiscriminately amplify chromosomal DNA during polymerase chain reaction (PCR) cycles.This results in fragments of varying lengths after separation by agarose gel electrophoresis.A particular strain will have a different fragmentation pattern than other strains.
