In contrast, thousands of SNP markers can be detected in parallel in one hybridization step, which compensates by far for the lower information content of a single SNP.

The combination analysis using SNP and STRP markers provided a novel method for increasing detection power in candidate gene association studies.

Advancements in whole-genome sequencing have revolutionized plant species characterization, providing a wealth of genotypic data for analysis.

SNP markers occur approximately once every kb. It is straightforward to begin a gene hunt with microsatellite markers and then switch to SNPs once the region has been sufficiently defined.

Genetic errors known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found to increase risk for breast, prostate and ovarian cancers ...

Researchers have developed a strategy that simplifies the discovery of useful single-nucleotide polymorphisms within the complex cotton genome. This method will be useful for marker-assisted ...

For pharmacogenomic evaluation, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and genes were selected from previous reports or PharmGKB database. 116 unique SNPs were evaluated for incidence of various ...

Five genetic risk markers might help identify men at the highest risk for a diagnosis of prostate cancer and help tailor and individualize screening.

Many people worry about inheriting health problems from their parents, but a new approach to analyzing genetic contributions to disease risk suggests that for most diseases, commercial DNA tests ...

Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNAs are known to play important roles ...

The second contract, also to Orchid, is to develop an expanded panel of robust SNP markers that will nearly double the number of SNPs the company currently uses, thereby potentially increasing its ...
