Abstract excerpt
SNPs are known to contribute to variations in drug response and there are more than 14 million polymorphisms spanning the human genome. However, not all of these SNPs are functional. It would be impractical and costly to evaluate every individual SNP for functionality experimentally. Consequently, one of the major challenges for researchers has been to seek out functional SNPs from all the SNPs in the human...
