Resource: Brief Guide to SNPs

Applied Biosystems has published a brief guide to genetic markers.  This 10-page document provides a quick introduction to such things as restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), short tandem repeats (STRs), single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and haplotypes.  Linkage and association studies are also briefly introduced.
