In this work, we have optimized random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) for the use of human DNA in altering the concentration of the reaction components and the steps of the thermal profile in the polymerase chain reaction. By using two primers in every reaction and 2.5 U Taq DNA polymerase, we fou

β¦ Synopsis
Many conditions of the RAPD reaction procedure may influence the result. This paper presents rapid detection of influential factors with a fractional factorial experiment. A more extensive study of these factors is also presented. Polymerase brand, thermal cycler brand, annealing temperature, and primer, are important factors in obtaining good DNA yields and optimal fragment patterns. Each primer has its optimal annealing temperature, and this is not correlated with the GC content of the primer. Optimal species-primer combinations have to be found by trial and error.

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique is a simple method to detect DNA polymorphism. Several factors can affect the amplification profiles causing the presence of false bands and assay non-reproducibility. In this study, we analyzed the effect of changing concentrations of the primer
