Genetic Marker Analysis

Genetic marker analysis is a method used to examine specific regions in our DNA called markers, which can vary between individuals. These markers act like unique biological signatures, helping scientists identify genetic differences associated with certain traits, diseases, or inherited conditions. By analyzing these markers, researchers can track genetic inheritance, diagnose genetic disorders, or understand ancestry. The process involves collecting a DNA sample, using laboratory techniques to locate and study these markers, and then interpreting the results to gain insights into an individual’s genetic makeup.
