STRPs (short tandem repeat polymorphisms) are the genetic markers used in CODIS to predict population genotype frequencies. These markers consist of repeating stretches of 2-6 base pairs within the DNA sequence that vary in length and number of repeats between individuals, making them useful in identifying genetic differences between populations.
