Abstract
In the early days of DNA testing, the most sensitive type of testing was via a process known as Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism testing, or RFLP. In this type of testing, DNA was partially digested, or cut into pieces, by using a variety of enzymes that cleaves DNA at a certain runs base pair sequences.
