Abstract excerpt
A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is a variation in the DNA sequence that occurs when a single nucleotide in the genome differs across members of the same species. Variations in the DNA sequences of humans are associated with human diseases. This makes SNPs as a key to open up the door of personalized medicine. SNP(s) can also be used for human identification and forensic applications. Compared to short...
