[Genome] polymorphic markers

[Rachel Harte]

Hello Imke Puls,

You could try looking in the Microsatellite track. The track control to
switch this track on is in the "Variation and Repeats" group under the
Genome Browser image. If you know the sequences that you are you searching
for, then you could use the Short Match track (in the Mapping and
Sequencing Tracks group). If you click on the "Short Match" link above the
track control for the track, then you can type a sequence of 2-30 bases
into the text box and these will be marked in the track across the genome.

I did not see many markers in human whose name begins with "DS" but there
are several hundred that begin with "D8S". These may be all from the same
source. Not all the markers have names with this prefix.

I hope that this helps you. Please let us know if you have further
questions.
