Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing, or NIPT, is a simple blood draw that screens for chromosomal abnormalities of a fetus while still in utero. When this screening was first performed it was used to determine the sex of a fetus, now it is also used to find aneuploidies in fetal DNA. [6]
There were few serious proposals for a comprehensive social insurance scheme in Australia before World War I, as it was seen as unfeasible. [2] In 1911, deputy opposition leader Joseph Cook told federal parliament that "the more I think of it the more convinced I am that we must come ultimately to a form of national insurance which will give every man–the millionaire as well as the poor man ...

Sodium nitroprusside (SNP), sold under the brand name Nitropress among others, is a medication used to lower blood pressure. [3] This may be done if the blood pressure is very high and resulting in symptoms , in certain types of heart failure , and during surgery to decrease bleeding . [ 3 ]
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.
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%).
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.
The SNP file format was used by Microsoft Access to store Report Snapshots in a single file which can be viewed and printed by the Microsoft Snapshot Viewer, a Windows program available free of charge from Microsoft that allows report output to be viewed without requiring Access. Support for the format was discontinued in Access 2010 and later ...
