The RAPD/retroposon primer binding site actually serves as an arbitrary endpoint for the SSR-based specific, amplified sequence, as its is with ISAIISSR, where a single anchored primer is used.
The amplified products may also be digested with a restriction enzyme, to resolve further the polymorphism, so that it is then described as 'digested RAMPs (dRAMPs)' as done in barley.
The merit of RAMP and REMAP lies in the fact that undigested total genomic DNA is used as a template, instead of preamplified restriction digested DNA that is used in AFLP/SAMPLIS-SAP (to be discussed in the next section).
