Title: An outline of single nucleotide polymorphisms
Abstract: Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are a common form of genome variations, distinguished from rare variations by a requirement for at least abundant allele to have a frequency of 2% or more. SNPs occur in human genome at a frequency of one every 1 000 bases. Because of the high dense and high information content , they became an effective genetic marker used in genetic analysis of simple and complex diseases, human population genetics, and pharmacogenomics. Present paper reviewed the concept and the potential application of the SNPs.
