Do More DNA Test Markers Matter? | Genetic Genealogy Explained

Each DNA test has a certain number of markers they test. The markers between Y-DNA tests (STRs 37, 67, or 111) are different from the Autosomal DNA tests (SNPs, 500,000-1,000,000) so you can’t compare them. Depending on what types of results we are looking at, ethnicity, haplogroup, or cousin matching, more markers aren’t always better.
