So why is that useful? Well, we can take advantage of this fact to actually look for differences between people if they have that restriction enzyme site or not. So a single base difference between two people could result in either the presence or absence of that restriction site. So then, if you isolate that piece of DNA surrounding that site from two people, from one of them it will be cut by the enzyme and the other one it won't. And that results in a polymorphism, or difference between those two people.
We typically see these, or we monitor these, by isolating the DNA, cutting it with that bacterial restriction enzyme, and running it on a gel using electrophoresis. The full RFLP process requires probe labeling, DNA fragmentation, electrophoresis, blotting, hybridization, washing, and autoradiography. The detected RFLP is visualized using X-ray film in autoradiography, where DNA fragments can be viewed and analyzed after they are separated from one another by electrophoresis.
Some of the applications for RFLP analysis include:. The technique of using RFLP detection of variation in genomes is a vital tool in genome mapping and genetic disease analysis. If the location of a particular disease gene is being sought in a certain chromosome, then researchers would analyze the DNA of members of a family with the disease, then look for similar patterns of inheritance in RFLP alleles.
Once a disease gene is localized, conducting RFLP analysis on other family members could reveal a carrier of the mutant genes or signal overall disease risk. It is important to note that the RFLP technique is not widely used now that newer, more robust techniques are used for DNA analysis in forensic science and several other fields. Unfortunately, the RFLP analysis technique is tedious and slow. Aside from requiring a large amount of sample DNA--the sample would usually need to be about the size of a quarter, which is relatively large for DNA samples--the process, from probe labeling to washing and autoradiography, can take up to a full month to complete.
