  2. Single-nucleotide polymorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-nucleotide_polymorphism

    In genetics and bioinformatics, a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP / s n ɪ p /; plural SNPs / s n ɪ p s /) is a germline substitution of a single nucleotide at a specific position in the genome. Although certain definitions require the substitution to be present in a sufficiently large fraction of the population (e.g. 1% or more), [ 1 ...

  3. SNP genotyping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNP_genotyping

    It is a form of genotyping, which is the measurement of more general genetic variation. SNPs are one of the most common types of genetic variation. An SNP is a single base pair mutation at a specific locus, usually consisting of two alleles (where the rare allele frequency is > 1%).

  4. dbSNP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DbSNP

    The dbSNP can be searched using the Entrez SNP search tool. A variety of queries can be used for searching: an ss number ID, a refSNP number ID, a gene name, an experimental method, a population class, a population detail, a publication, a marker, an allele, a chromosome, a base position, a heterozygosity range, or a build number.

  5. SNP array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNP_array

    In molecular biology, SNP array is a type of DNA microarray which is used to detect polymorphisms within a population. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), a variation at a single site in DNA , is the most frequent type of variation in the genome.

  6. Single-base extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-base_extension

    The method is used to identify a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). In the method, an oligonucleotide primer hybridizes to a complementary region along the nucleic acid to form a duplex, with the primer’s terminal 3’-end directly adjacent to the nucleotide base to be identified. Using a DNA polymerase, the oligonucleotide primer is ...

  7. Tag SNP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_SNP

    A tag SNP is a representative single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in a region of the genome with high linkage disequilibrium that represents a group of SNPs called a haplotype. It is possible to identify genetic variation and association to phenotypes without genotyping every SNP in a chromosomal region.

  8. SNP annotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNP_annotation

    Single nucleotide polymorphism annotation (SNP annotation) is the process of predicting the effect or function of an individual SNP using SNP annotation tools. In SNP annotation the biological information is extracted, collected and displayed in a clear form amenable to query.

  9. Genealogical DNA test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogical_DNA_test

    A person's haplogroup can often be inferred from their STR results, but can be proven only with a Y-chromosome SNP test (Y-SNP test). A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a change to a single nucleotide in a DNA sequence. Typical Y-DNA SNP tests test about 20,000 to 35,000 SNPs. [34] Getting a SNP test allows a much higher resolution than ...
