Large-Scale Identification, Mapping, and Genotyping of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the Human Genome

TLDR
A large-scale survey for SNPs was examined by a combination of gel-based sequencing and high-density variation-detection DNA chips, and a genetic map was constructed showing the location of 2227 candidate SNPs.
Abstract
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most frequent type of variation in the human genome, and they provide powerful tools for a variety of medical genetic studies. In a large-scale survey for SNPs, 2.3 megabases of human genomic DNA was examined by a combination of gel-based sequencing and high-density variation-detection DNA chips. A total of 3241 candidate SNPs were identified. A genetic map was constructed showing the location of 2227 of these SNPs. Prototype genotyping chips were developed that allow simultaneous genotyping of 500 SNPs. The results provide a characterization of human diversity at the nucleotide level and demonstrate the feasibility of large-scale identification of human SNPs.

New Target Regions for Human Hypertension via Comparative Genomics

TL;DR: A comparative genomic map for "candidate hypertension loci in humans" based on translating QTLs between rat and human is presented, predicting 26 chromosomal regions in the human genome that are very likely to harbor hypertension genes.

Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics: why is this relevant to the clinical geneticist?

TL;DR: The current appreciation of the degree of variability in the human genome is described, with emphasis on the need to prove that a particular genotype is indeed the cause of a specific phenotype; this topic has been termed ‘functional genomics’.

Automation in genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms.

Ivo Gut
- 01 Jun 2001 - 
TL;DR: The requirements of throughput and the ease of establishing an SNP genotyping operation are important, as well as the degree of integration, and the potential and state‐of‐the‐art of different solutions are outlined.

A second-generation genetic linkage map of the domestic dog, Canis familiaris.

TL;DR: A canine linkage map with the number of mapped loci expanded to 276 and 10-cM coverage extended to 75-90% of the genome is reported, with fifteen markers anchored well-described genes on the map, thereby serving as landmarks for comparative mapping in dogs.

The MITE family heartbreaker (Hbr): molecular markers in maize.

TL;DR: The features of a newly described family of miniature inverted repeat transposable elements (MITEs) (called Heartbreaker), including high copy number and polymorphism, stability, and preference for genic regions, have been exploited in the development of a class of molecular markers for maize.

Light-generated oligonucleotide arrays for rapid DNA sequence analysis

TL;DR: It is reported here how modern photolithographic techniques can be used to facilitate sequence analysis by generating miniaturized arrays of densely packed oligonucleotide probes, which can then be applied to parallel DNA hybridization analysis, directly yielding sequence information.

Extensive polymorphisms observed in HIV–1 clade B protease gene using high–density oligonucleotide arrays

TL;DR: In the first clinical application of high–density oligonucleotide arraysequencing, the sequences of 167 viral isolates from 102 patients have been determined and the DNA sequence of USA HIV–1 clade B proteases was found to be extremely variable.

Detection of heterozygous mutations in BRCA1 using high density oligonucleotide arrays and two-colour fluorescence analysis.

TL;DR: Fourteen of fifteen patient samples with known mutations were accurately diagnosed, and no false positive mutations were identified in 20 control samples, suggesting DNA chip–based assays may provide a valuable new technology for high–throughput cost–efficient detection of genetic alterations.

The use of a genetic map of biallelic markers in linkage studies

TL;DR: How polymorphic and densely spaced biallelic markers need to be for extraction of most of the inheritance information from human pedigrees is examined, and a map of 700–900 moderately polymorphic bialLElic markers is concluded to be equivalent to the current 300–400 microsatellite marker sets.
