Fluorescence-based amplified fragment length polymorphism(fbAFLP) is a novel assay based on the fluorescent analysis of an amplified subset of restriction fragments. The fbAFLP assay involves the selective PCR [polymerase chain reaction] amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of genomic DNA. The ligation of adapters with primer-specific sites coupled with primers containing selective nucleotides allowed the full potential of PCR to be realized while maintaining the advantages of restriction endonuclease analysis. Fluorescence-based fragment analysis with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis provides the accurate band sizing required for homology assessment. 5, record 2, English, - fluorescent%20amplified%20fragment%20length%20polymorphism

The chain length of a chain reaction is defined as the average number of times the closed cycle of reactions is repeated in the steady state, and is equal to the rate of the overall reaction divided by the rate of the iniation step. 1, record 3, English, - chain%20length%20of%20a%20chain%20reaction

La longueur de chaîne d'une réaction en chaîne est définie par le nombre moyen de fois que le cycle fermé de réactions est répété dans l'état stationnaire; elle est égale à la vitesse globale de la réaction divisée par la vitesse de l'étape d'amorçage. 1, record 3, French, - longueur%20de%20cha%C3%AEne%20d%27une%20r%C3%A9action%20en%20cha%C3%AEne
