Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) Analysis

This scrollable explains how researchers use restriction enzymes to analyze DNA. It also explores a number of genes, showing how restriction enzymes are used to detect genetic variants in humans. This scrollable forms part of The Jackson Laboratory Teaching the Genome Generation: Human Genetic Variation Virtual Lab curriculum.
