a) Various sources submit data, and each variation is assigned a unique submitted SNP number ID (ss#). b) dbSNP compiles identical ss# records into one reference SNP cluster (rs#) containing data from each ss#. c) Users can retrieve data for specific rs# records and analyze these variations. d) Data from dbSNP aids clinical and applied research.
A number of studies have examined the role of this polymorphism in risk of neuropsychiatric disorders [1], including schizophrenia [2] and depression. [3] It is generally thought that some variants of the polymorphism lead to memory impairment and susceptibility to neuropsychiatric disorders, [4] and a 2007 meta-analysis of case-control studies found a relationship between the SNP and ...
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.
A tag SNP is a representative single-nucleotide polymorphism in a region of the genome with high linkage disequilibrium (the non-random association of alleles at two or more loci). Tag SNPs are useful in whole-genome SNP association studies, in which hundreds of thousands of SNPs across the entire genome are genotyped.

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 ...
1. Introduce the reference of a SNP of interest, as an example: rs429358, in a database (dbSNP or other). 2. Find MAF/MinorAlleleCount link. MAF/MinorAlleleCount: C=0.1506/754 (1000 Genomes, where number of genomes sampled = N = 2504); [4] where C is the minor allele for that particular locus; 0.1506 is the frequency of the C allele (MAF), i.e. 15% within the 1000 Genomes database; and 754 is ...
SNPedia (pronounced "snipedia") is a wiki-based bioinformatics web site that serves as a database of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Each article on a SNP provides a short description, links to scientific articles and personal genomics web sites, as well as microarray information about that SNP.
