The change in one nucleotide in a genome is known as single nucleotide polymorphism. There are assorted types of SNPs. SNPs can be detected by several analytical techniques i.e. DNA sequencing, microchip, HPLC and oligonucleotide ligation reaction.
3. SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM
• The variations in
DNA sequence that
occurs when single
nucleotide ( A, T G,
C) in the genome
sequence is altered,
is called single
nucleotide
polymorphism.
4. Frequency of SNPs
• ~ 1.5 million sites in the human genome
where SNPs could occur.
• ~ 3.8 million SNPs are catalogued in 270
individuals.
• ( ~ 1 SNP/ 1000 bases)
• ~ each person has ~3.5 million common SNPs
(inherited) and ~30 new mutations have
arisen (mutation rate of 10-8 /base/
generation)

7. SNP
Coding Region
Affect protein Structure
Synonymous
Same polypeptide
sequence produced
Non-synonymous
Different polypeptide
sequence produced
Non Coding Region
Don’t effect protein
structure
But act as promoter or
enhancer
Non-Sense
Premature stop codon
Missense
Leads to amino acid
sequence

8. Uses In Biotechnology
1) Genome mapping
2) Genome wide association studies of complex
diseases
3) specific genetic traits
4) classifying patients in clinical trials
5) genetic markers for other traits
6) pharmacogenomics
17. • Two probes are introduces in
solution;ASO and LSO.
• LSO binds to 3’ and ASO to 5’
direction of SNP to hybridize;
1. LSO(locus specific nucleotide)-stops
before SNP
2. ASO(Allele specific nucleotide)-
contain base complimentary to SNP.
• Positive result: Last base of ASO
similar to SNP base-ligase binds LSO
and ASO.
• Negative result: Last base of ASO
dissimilar to SNP base-ligase doesn’t
bind two probes.
• Positive result detect the presence of
SNP.
• Amplify to study the region
Oligonucleotide ligation reaction
18. HPLC
• HPLC stands for High Performance Liquid
Chromatography
• HPLC is characterized by the use of high
pressure to push a
• mobile phase solution through a column of
stationary phase
• allowing separation of complex mixtures with
high resolution.
19. Separations
19
Separation in based upon differential
migration between the stationary and
mobile phases.
Stationary Phase - the phase which
remains fixed in the column, e.g. C18,
Silica
Mobile Phase - carries the sample
through the stationary phase as it
moves through the column.
