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.

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) discovery in porcine expressed genes

TL;DR: These data were the first large-scale assessment of frequency and distribution of porcine SNPs, and strategies for optimizing LSA-based SNP discovery using alternative methods of PCR primer design, data analysis, and germplasm selection that are applicable to other populations and species are described.

Using cDNA and genomic sequences as tools to develop SNP strategies in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz).

TL;DR: Information on the frequency of SNPs in six cassava cultivars will help to develop new strategies for EST mapping as well as their association with phenotypic characteristics, and is obtained by exploiting the recently-developed collection of cassava expressed sequence tags.

Single strand conformation polymorphism based SNP and Indel markers for genetic mapping and synteny analysis of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

TL;DR: The SSCP technique is a useful and inexpensive alternative to other SNP or Indel detection techniques for saturating the common bean genetic map with functional markers that may be useful in marker assisted selection.

Management of gene promoter mutations in molecular diagnostics.

TL;DR: Although promoter mutation analysis is complex, often laborious, and difficult to perform, it is an essential part of the diagnosis of disease-causing promoter mutations and improves the understanding of the role of transcriptional regulation in human disease.

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.
