A genetic marker is a gene or DNA sequence with a recognized position on a chromosome that can be used to recognize individuals or species. It can be described as a variety (which can originate due to a mutation or alteration in genomic loci) that can be discerned. A genetic marker can be a short DNA sequence, such as a sequence that surrounds a solitary base pair change (solitary nucleotide polymorphism, SNP) or a long one, such as minisatellites. Genetic markers can be used to study the connection between an inherited disease and its genetic causes (for demonstration, a specific mutation of a gene that results in a defective protein). Parts of DNA that are close to each other on a chromosome are known to tend to be inherited together. Genetic markers are dedicated to genealogical verification of DNA in search of genetic genealogy to determine the genetic distance between people or populations. Uniparental markers (in mitochondrial or Y chromosomal DNA) are reviewed to consider maternal or paternal lineages. Autosomal markers are used for all ancestors. Genetic markers must be easily identifiable, affiliated to a specific locus, and highly polymorphic because homozygotes do not provide any information. Marker detection can be driven by RNA sequencing or indirectly using allozymes.
