Molecular marker

In genetics, a molecular marker (identified as genetic marker) is a fragment of DNA sequence that is associated to a part of the genome.

Molecular markers are used in molecular biology and biotechnology experiments where they use to identify a particular sequence of DNA. As the DNA sequences are very highly specific, they can be identified with the help of the known molecular markers which can find out a particular sequence of DNA from a group of unknown.
