[Recent progress of study on single nucleotide polymorphisms].
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is a new genetic marker system following RFLP and microsatellite polymorphism. It has been shown to have the characteristics of high-density, inheritance stability and facilitation in analysis automation. SNPs can be detected by electrophoresis, endonuclease-cleavage, PCR and sequencing, and can be used extensively in gene mapping, disease-correlativity analysis, population genetics and drug research.
