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.

Rapid method for detecting SNPs on agarose gels and its application in candidate gene mapping.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the agarose method can be effectively used in gene mapping, an application particularly useful for parental lines with low levels of polymorphism, and showed that the throughput can be increased by analyzing larger amplicons.

Chemistry Challenges in SNP Typing

TL;DR: This minireview focuses primarily on the chemistry basis of newly developed and developing technologies for SNP typing that do not make use of enzymes, except for PCR amplification.

Strong positional preference in the interaction of LNA oligonucleotides with DNA polymerase and proofreading exonuclease activities: implications for genotyping assays

TL;DR: It is shown that a model PRASE genotyping reaction with L-2 LNA primers offers greater specificity than existing non-Proofreading assays, whether or not the non-proofreading reaction employs LNA-modified primers.

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.
