Abstract
Genetic markers are polymorphic genetic sequences, like RFLPs or microsatellites, that differ within chromosomal alleles. Rather than analysing the sequence directly, this gene is inferred through analysis of a genetic marker. Marker analysis approach is quite helpful in population biology and ecology studies that can be trace patterns in populations like plants, animals, humans, etc.
