The lab has also shifted from testing genetic markers known as short tandem repeats (STRs), which are standard in paternity testing, to recording single letter variants in the genetic code known as single
nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, which are rarely
used for this purpose.
Single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs,
used as genetic markers in DNA profiling) can produce single amino acid
polymorphisms (SAPs) in the amino acids that make up protein.

nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associations.

Objective To identify common genetic markers that may confer differential benefit from aspirin or NSAID chemoprevention, we tested gene × environment interactions between regular
use of aspirin and / or NSAIDs and single -
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in relation to risk of colorectal cancer.
Previous genetic studies have examined the association of aspirin, NSAIDs, or both with colorectal cancer according to a limited number of candidate genes or pathways.6 - 10 Thus, to comprehensively identify common genetic markers that characterize individuals who may obtain differential benefit from aspirin and NSAIDs, we conducted a discovery - based, genome - wide analysis of gene × environment interactions between regular
use of aspirin, NSAIDs, or both and single -
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in relation to risk of colorectal cancer.
The unit provides genetic testing services
using a combination of both microsatellite and single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels for characterizing and selecting breeders in a wide variety of inbred mouse strains subsequently
used for the generation of congenic animals.

uses bootstrapping to rank single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for disease association.
This section invites manuscripts describing (a) Linkage, association, substitution or positional mapping and epigenetic studies in any species; (b) Validation studies of candidate genes
using genetically - engineered mutant model organisms; (c) Studies focused on epistatis and gene - environment interactions; (d) Analysis of the functional implications of genomic sequence variation and aim to attach physiological or pharmacogenomic relevance to alterations in genes or proteins; (e) Studies of DNA copy number variants, non-coding RNA, genome deletions, insertions, duplications and other single

used to identify single
nucleotide deletion, insertion,
polymorphism and translocation and copy a number of changes on the DNA level.
In this project, I applied NASP for single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) identification and characterization, and
used FigTree and PHYLOBar for phylogenetic analysis and visualization.The NASP method differs from other published SNP pipelines in terms of supported short - read aligners and SNP callers, the ability to call both monomorphic and polymorphic sites, and the ability to integrate the results from multiple SNP callers and identify the consensus set of SNPs that define the population structure.
To this end, we determined the susceptibility of 38 NAPCR1 isolates to ten antibiotics from seven classes
using E-tests or macrodilution tests and examined 31 NAPCR1 whole - genome sequences to identify single
nucleotide polymorphisms and genes that could explain the observed resistance phenotypes.
Methods: Here we genotype 276 single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 5199 P. falciparum isolates from two Kenyan sites and one Gambian site to determine the spatio - temporal extent of parasite mixing, and
use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and linear regression to examine the relationship between genetic relatedness and relatedness in space and time for parasite pairs.

uses small mutations in the canine DNA (single -
nucleotide polymorphisms, or «snips»), to determine a breed (VIN).

used gene chips containing feline single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)-- variations from the common feline DNA sequence that can help track down genes responsible for genetic diseases — to conduct their investigations.
