SNP Analysis
SNP Analysis: Single nucleotide polymorphism analysis and mutation detection.SNP DEFINITION. DNA sequence variations that occur when a single nucleotide (A, T, C, or G) in the genome sequence is altered. Each individual has many single nucleotide polymorphisms that together create a unique DNA pattern for that person.
