A SNP array can also be used to generate a virtual karyotype using software to determine the copy number of each SNP on the array and then align the SNPs in chromosomal order. [10] SNPs can also be used to study genetic abnormalities in cancer. For example, SNP arrays can be used to study loss of heterozygosity (LOH). LOH occurs when one allele ...
A .map accompanies a .ped file and provides information about variants, while .bim and .fam files accompany .bed files as part of the binary dataset. Additionally, PLINK accepts inputs of VCF, BCF, Oxford, and 23andMe files, which are typically extracted into the binary .bed format prior to performing desired analyses. With certain formats such ...
Data analysis for an array-based DNA copy number test can be very challenging though due to very high volume of data that come out of an array platform. BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) arrays were historically the first microarray platform to be used for DNA copy number analysis. This platform is used to identify gross deletions or ...

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.
There are three components that are critical to the KASP assay: 1) a purified DNA sample, 2) two allele-specific forward primers, and 3) a common reverse primer. A minimum of 5-10 ng of the extracted DNA sample is required for the method to function properly. The DNA sample is purified by adding a mixture of chemicals to the buffer solution. [2]
In order to perform SNP genotyping, Hardenbol et al. [3] modified padlock probes such that when the probe is hybridized to the genomic target, there is a gap at the SNP position. Gap filling using a nucleotide that is complementary to the nucleotide at the SNP location determines the identity of the polymorphism.
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.
