An automated approach to genetic mapping with Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA markers
At least 10000 Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) reactions are required to complete a modest RAPD-based genetic mapping effort. Most molecular genetics laboratories are not equipped to handle this level of production in a time-efficient manner; and efforts to scale up are costly when considering equipment acquisition and personnel needs. We describe a RAPD laboratory of our own design that is capable of completing 2304 RAPD reactions per 2.0 technician-work-days and minimal space requirements (approximately 500 square feet).
