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.

Solid phase methods for amplifying multiple nucleic acids

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-stage bridge amplification method which uses a recovered single-stranded amplification singlestranded nucleic acid molecule to initiate second and subsequent stages of bridge amplification is described.

Informativity assessment for biallelic single nucleotide polymorphisms

TL;DR: The number N, the equivalent number of maximally informative SNPs, is suggested as a measure of marker informativity in the context of kinship testing because Linear regression analysis of a large number of simulated SNP sets reveals that only a minor linear correction of N is required for large n.

Prospects for inferring pairwise relationships with single nucleotide polymorphisms.

TL;DR: It seems that microsatellites will remain the marker of choice for relationship estimation in nonmodel organisms, at least for the foreseeable future, using a large panel of independently segregating SNPs to infer genetic relationships.

TOLL-like receptor 10 genetic variation is associated with asthma in two independent samples.

TL;DR: Consistent association in two independent samples and association with an intermediate phenotype provides strong support for TLR10 genetic variation contributing to asthma risk.

Detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (snp's) and cytosine-methylations

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of oligonucleotides or peptide nucleic acid (PNA) oligomers were used for detecting cytosine methylations and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP's) in genomic DNA samples.

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.
