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.

Selective mapping: a strategy for optimizing the construction of high-density linkage maps.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a reduced sample of individuals bearing complementary recombinational or radiation-induced breakpoints may be selected for genotyping subsequent markers from a large, but sparsely genotyped, mapping population, and this approach, which is termed selective mapping, can facilitate the production of high-quality, high-density genome-wide linkage maps.

Universal SNP genotyping assay with fluorescence polarization detection.

TL;DR: The template-directed dye-terminator incorporation assay with fluorescence polarization detection (FP-TDI), which uses four spectrally distinct dye terminators to achieve universal assay conditions, can be used for assaying any SNP marker and greatly simplifies the SNP genotyping assay design.

Parallel Characterization of Anaerobic Toluene-and Ethylbenzene-Degrading Microbial Consortia by PCR-Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis, RNA-DNA Membrane Hybridization, and DNA Microarray Technology

TL;DR: The DNA microarray successfully detected bacterial nucleic acids from these samples, but probes targeting specific groups of sulfate-reducing bacteria did not give positive signals, demonstrating the limitations and the potential utility of DNA microarrays for microbial community analysis.

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.
