SNP - This stands for 'single nucleotide polymorphisms '

It is a single nucleotide variation in the DNA of the genome of the individual. Each of these variations are more than 1% in the population.

RFLP - Restrictions fragment length polymorphisms- it is a technique, particularly used in molecular biology, to study the variations in the homologous DNA sequences.

This method hepls to find minor differences between individuals ,populations and species.

These sequences also help to find particular gene sequences in the genome.

HOW CAN THESE BE USED TO FIND THE PARTICULAR GENE OF INTEREST.

These act by trail and error method. And this also requires particular probes and enzymes.
