What is an SNP?
Career: Snp
SNPs, or Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms, are variations at a single position in a DNA sequence among individuals. These genetic differences can help scientists understand genetic diversity, disease susceptibility, and how individuals respond to drugs. SNPs are the most common type of genetic variation and are widely used in genetics research, personalized medicine, and evolutionary biology. Identifying and studying SNPs can provide valuable insights into human health and ancestry.
