Identify the nucleotide positions of all SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms).

Key Concepts

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs)

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are variations at a single position in a DNA sequence among individuals. They occur when a single nucleotide, such as adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), or guanine (G), is altered. SNPs can affect gene function and contribute to individual differences in traits, disease susceptibility, and response to drugs.

Nucleotide Position

Nucleotide position refers to the specific location of a nucleotide within a DNA sequence. In the context of SNP analysis, identifying the nucleotide position is crucial for determining where variations occur. This information helps in comparing sequences across different individuals to pinpoint genetic differences.

DNA Sequence Alignment

DNA sequence alignment is the process of arranging sequences of DNA to identify regions of similarity and difference. This technique is essential for detecting SNPs, as it allows researchers to compare the nucleotide sequences of multiple individuals side by side. By aligning these sequences, one can easily spot variations at specific nucleotide positions.
