Genetic variation among human races can be observed in almost any trait, from the physical and biochemical, to disease resistance. What role do single nucleotide polymorphisms play in this?

The International SNP Map Working Group has compiled a map of 1.4 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms. What fraction of all human sequence variation is captured in this collection, and what ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. While scientists believe that gut microbiota play an important role in both the onset and progression of CRC, emerging evidence ...

Researchers have identified a range of genetic variations associated with both syndromic and non-syndromic CHD, including single nucleotide variations, structural variations, and chromosomal ...

Point mutations are often thought of as the raw material of evolution; these small changes include the substitution of one nucleotide with another (often referred to as a single-nucleotide ...
