Line 14:
In the third schematic, the probe and restriction enzyme are chosen to detect a region of the genome that includes a variable [[Variable number tandem repeats|VNTR]] segment (boxes). In allele "c" there are five repeats in the VNTR, and the probe detects a longer fragment between the two restriction sites. In allele "d" there are only two repeats in the VNTR, so the probe detects a shorter fragment between the same two restriction sites. Other genetic processes, such as [[Genetic insertion|insertions]], [[Genetic deletion|deletions]], [[Chromosomal translocation|translocations]], and [[Chromosomal inversion|inversions]], can also lead to RFLPs.
RFLP uses a much bigger sample of DNA than STR.
