Description
Variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs) DNA sequence blocks of 2-60 base pairs which are repeated from two to more than 20 times in different individuals. This polymorphism makes VNTRs very useful DNA markers used in genomic mapping, linkage analysis and also DNA fingerprinting.
Variation (genetic) Variation in genetic sequences and the detection of DNA sequence variants genome-wide allow studies relating the distribution of sequence variation to a population history. This in turn allows one to determine the density of SNPS or other markers needed for gene mapping studies. Quantitation of these variations together with analytical tools for studying sequence variation also relate genetic variations to phenotype.
