6 Common Types of DNA Markers | Biochemistry

The following points highlight the six common types of DNA markers. The types are: 1. Single-nucleotide Polymorphism 2. Short Tandem Repeats 3. Variable Number Tandem Repeats 4. Restriction Fragment Length Polymor­phism 5. Randomly Amplified Polymorpohic DNA 6. Amplified Fragment Length Polymor­phism. Type # 1. Single-nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs or "Snips"): The single-nucleotide polymorphism is a single base-pair change or a point [...]
