‘Genes as markers’ shows that most genetic variation does not affect gene function or activity, but it is still of enormous interest. Notably it enables the identification of individual people, useful in forensics in the form of DNA fingerprinting, the establishment of paternity, and other information about family relationships. It also provides some evidence about the migration of human populations in historic and prehistoric times. Genetic variation has also enabled biologists to examine the thorny issue of human racial differences and establish the degree to which there is any biological basis for perceived race.

Ticks are considered in Europe to be the most important arthropod group responsible for vector-borne diseases in humans, while in the tropics mosquitoes take over this position with ticks being the second most important. Over the last decade, vector-borne diseases have proliferated within Southern Europe (Blue tongue and West Nile viruses, both mosquito-borne diseases) while human ehrlichiosis (a tick-borne disease) has increased dramatically in Eastern Europe.

A DNA repeat element, revealed initially by digestion of horse DNA with TaqI, was cloned and characterized by Southern and in situ hybridization studies and nucleotide sequencing. The clone, e4/1, consisted of 32 tandem reiterations of a unit repeat of 21–22 bp, and produced multilocus DNA fingerprinting profiles that were useful for parentage analysis in horses. The tandem repeat element was shown by in situ hybridization to be localized in the centromeres of the acrocentric but not metacentric classes of horse chromosomes.Key words: Equidae, Equus caballus, DNA repeat, DNA fingerprinting, centromere.
