Genetic markers: what are they?

Genetic markers are DNA sequences associated with specific traits and demonstrate polymorphism. They have numerous applications, including tracing inheritance and history of traits, paternity testing, and crime investigations. Identifying new markers is a challenging process that can help researchers understand the genome’s organization. Genetic markers are DNA sequences that have been traced to specific locations […]

Breast cancer markers?

Breast cancer tumor markers are substances produced by the body in reaction to a tumor or by the tumor itself. Testing for these markers can guide diagnosis, treatment, and predict prognosis. Different markers indicate different stages of tumor progression. Testing depends on the stage of cancer, and follow-up visits are recommended after treatment. Breast cancer […]

Mol. Markers: What are they?

Molecular markers are DNA sequences used by researchers to track specific genes or DNA sequences in an organism. They can occur naturally or be developed by researchers and are used for academic or therapeutic purposes. They must be easy to identify and polymorphic to be useful. They help determine the relationship between physical traits and […]
