Abstract excerpt
More than 9000 papers using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) or related techniques (e.g. the arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR)) have been published from 1990 to 2005. The RAPD method has been initially used to detect polymorphism in genetic mapping, taxonomy and phylogenetic studies and later in genotoxicity and carcinogenesis studies. Despite their extensive use, these techniques...
