What are the types of DNA Markers?

1. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs)
2. DNA Polymorphisms
3. Insertions and Deletions
4. Interspersed Nuclear elements: SINEs (short interspersed nuclear elements) and LINEs (long interspersed nuclear elements)
5. Tandem repeats (satellites)
6. Mitochondrial DNA
7. Y chromosome

Note: DNA Marker/ Polymorphism data is used to test models about evolutionary forces, e.g. historical demography, selection, migration, mutation.
