Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs):
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) Major discovery of human genome project was single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): points in genome where 2 or more alternative alleles are found in >1% of population 93% genes have SNPs ~40% will alter an amino acid SNPs may have important consequences for health/disease
