TLDR
The hope that single nucleotide polymorphisms will allow genes that underlie complex disease to be identified, together with progress in identifying large sets ofSNPs, are the driving forces behind intense efforts to establish the technology for large-scale analysis of SNPs.
Abstract
Understanding the relationship between genetic variation and biological function on a genomic scale is expected to provide fundamental new insights into the biology, evolution and pathophysiology of humans and other species. The hope that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) will allow genes that underlie complex disease to be identified, together with progress in identifying large sets of SNPs, are the driving forces behind intense efforts to establish the technology for large-scale analysis of SNPs. New genotyping methods that are high throughput, accurate and cheap are urgently needed for gaining full access to the abundant genetic variation of organisms.

The CBLB gene and Graves' disease in children.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the C/T polymorphism located in exon 10 of the CBLB gene is not associated with Graves' disease in children and the allelic polymorphism in patients and controls with and without DRB1*09012 were not significantly different.

Gene mapping with pooled samples on three genotyping platforms

TL;DR: Three genotyping techniques to detect allelic association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and disease loci by using pooled DNA samples were evaluated and measured allele frequencies agreed well with those measured individually and confirmed that multiple platforms are suitable for pooled genotypesing.

Electrochemical monitoring of single nucleotide polymorphisms of rice varieties related to blast resistance based on PCR product and T4 DNA polymerase

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the construction of a relatively simple, inexpensive and ultrasensitive electrochemical DNA biosensor to detect SNP-33G for the first time, and the proposed biosensor showed excellent selectivity of SNP33G compared to that of wild type bsr-d1 promoter at a ratio of 1:10,000.

Allelic Variation of Salinity Tolerance Genes in Barley Ecotypes (Natural Populations) Using EcoTILLING: A Review Article

TL;DR: This review discusses effects of salinity on plant growth and production, different mechanisms used by plants to handle this problem, the genes related to salinity tolerance in barley (and other plants) and the potential of EcoTILLING technique for detection ofSalinity stress genes variation in barley.

A gold nanoparticles-based colorimetric test to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms for improvement of personalized therapy of psoriasis

TL;DR: High accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the colorimetric test are demonstrated that can be easily adapted for the genotypization of different SNPs, important for the pharmacogenomics of various diseases, and in other fields, such as food traceability and population structure analysis.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors

TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.

Enzymatic amplification of beta-globin genomic sequences and restriction site analysis for diagnosis of sickle cell anemia.

TL;DR: Two new methods were used to establish a rapid and highly sensitive prenatal diagnostic test for sickle cell anemia, using primer-mediated enzymatic amplification of specific beta-globin target sequences in genomic DNA, resulting in the exponential increase of target DNA copies.

Specific synthesis of DNA in vitro via a polymerase-catalyzed chain reaction.

TL;DR: A method whereby a nucleic acid sequence can be exponentially amplified in vitro is described in the chapter, and the possibility of utilizing a heat-stable DNA polymerase is explored so as to avoid the need for addition of new enzyme after each cycle of thermal denaturation.
