Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis is a technique based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of discrete genome regions with short oligonucleotide primers of arbitrary sequence (WILLIAMS et al., 1990). The method is simple an

Se observó que en SNPs, especialmente, fue necesario examinar únicamente loci polimórficos dentro de cada especie para tener una visión clara de la partición de diversidad genética dentro de especies. Como resultado solo unos cuantos cientos de loci

Limitations of RAPD. Nearly all RAPD markers are dominant, i.e. it is not possible to distinguish whether a DNA segment is amplified from a locus that is heterozygous (1 copy) or homozygous (2 copies). Co-dominant RAPD markers, observed as different-sized
