Schematic representation of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), or DNA fingerprinting, analysis. DNA (A) is cut with a restriction enzyme to produce a number of DNA fragments of varying lengths (B). The DNA fragments are separated by gel electrophoresis to produce a pattern unique to the organism and the enzyme used to cut the DNA. In this representation, six different samples were analyzed, with one of the six (in the 4th lane) clearly exhibiting a pattern different from the other five.
