Abstract excerpt
The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique is often criticized because it usually shows low levels of repeatability; thus it can generate spurious bands. These problems can be partially overcome by rigid laboratory protocols and by performing repeatability tests. However, because it is expensive and time-consuming to obtain genetic data twice for all individuals, a few randomly chosen individuals are...
