    GlossaryGenetic Markers

    specific DNA sequences indicating genetic traits or disease risks

    Genetic markers are specific sequences in the DNA that can be used to identify individuals or species and can be associated with particular traits or diseases. They act like signposts within the genome, helping researchers locate genes linked to conditions such as alopecia, making it easier to study genetic predispositions and develop targeted treatments.
