Genetic markers are DNA sequences with known physical locations on chromosomes. They are points of variation that can be used to identify individuals or species, or may be used to associate an ...

Today, these marker types are typically visualized using chemifluorescence and genetic analyzers, which detect the fluorescent emission of labeled primers (as in the case of MSATs) or the ...

Understanding biological relationships is often critical when studying animal populations. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig University, the German ...

DNA microsatellites are genetic markers that can be useful in addressing questions at a variety of scales, ranging from the extremely fine-grained to the fairly coarse-grained. More specifically, this ...

Approximately 160 tests are set to be conducted annually by the NHS to screen for 'high-risk' genetic variants.

Understanding biological relationships is often critical when studying animal populations. Researchers have now developed a transformative approach that identifies stretches of DNA that two ...

Triple negative breast cancer wreaks a particularly heavy toll in certain regions and populations, with stark differences in both incidence and survival rates ...
