The answer is single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

It checks for variation in nucleotide sequences in particular genes that may be different among people, especially in different races. An example is a gene for melanin that would determine the trait for skin color. Single nucleotide changes in the gene between population can be used to differentiate populations.
