single nucleotide polymorphism

single nucleotide polymorphism
Abbreviation: SNP
A genetic marker resulting from variation in sequence at a particular position within a DNA sequence. SNPs are commonly the result of transition changes (A for G, T for C), but also transversions (G or A for T or C) and single base deletions. Such variation is extensive throughout all genomes, and offers the particular advantage of being detectable without the need for gel electrophoresis.
