  2. 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 ...

  3. 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.

  4. SNP genotyping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNP_genotyping

    Either you position the primers very close to either side of the SNP in question (small amplicon genotyping, Liew, 2004) or amplify a larger region (100-400bp in length) for scanning purposes. For simple genotyping of an SNP, it is easier to just make the amplicon small to minimize the chances you mistake one SNP for another.

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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.

  7. Ancestry-informative marker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancestry-informative_marker

    Ancestry informative markers have a number of applications in genetic research, forensics, and private industry. AIMs that indicate a predisposition for diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and renal disease have been shown to reduce the effects of genetic admixture in ancestral mapping when using admixture mapping software. [10]

  8. Genome-wide complex trait analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome-wide_complex_trait...

    The use of SNP or whole-genome data from unrelated subject participants (with participants too related, typically >0.025 or ~fourth cousins levels of similarity, being removed, and several principal components included in the regression to avoid & control for population stratification) bypasses many heritability criticisms: twins are often ...

  9. Haplogroup N-M231 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_N-M231

    Haplogroup N (M231) is a Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup defined by the presence of the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker M231. [Phylogenetics 1]It is most commonly found in males originating from northern Eurasia.
