Wild almond species as sources of genetic variation may have crucial importance in breeding. A total of 389 accessions of 18 species have been analysed using inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP), retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymorphism (REMAP), sequence-specific amplification polymorphism (S-SAP), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and simple sequence repeats (SSR). Retrotransposon markers indicated the presence and movement of some Ty3- gypsy  and Ty1- copia -elements in almond genome. Since transposable elements are associated with large-scale genome alterations, REMAP produced more reliable phylogenetic inferences than AFLP where homoplasy may affect clustering. In addition, high resolution melting (HRM) analysis was developed to detect SNPs. HRM analysis revealed 1:189 bp frequency of SNPs in exon positions, and the transition-to-transversion proportion was 1.84:1. The low transition bias suggests low methylation levels in almond genome. The polymorphic information content (PIC) was the highest for SSR markers, while SNPs had an average PIC of 0.59, which is close to the values of the rest of the markers. Huge genetic diversity, fragmented population structure and footprints of human selection was confirmed by merging information from all marker strategies. Considering time, cost and performance HRM can be a marker of choice in future studies of  Prunus  diversity.
