Document Summary

Genome sequence project: it"s primary goal is to map out each chromosome with high resolution so you can identify the sequences of coding and non-coding regions. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) are one of the most common types of genetic variation. Created by single nucleotide base changes or substitutions in a dna sequence. Dna microanalysis is used to detect snps: oligonucleotides that match the common allele and all possible variant snp alleles are attached to the glass on the microarray chip. Snp genotype will reveal a distinct pattern of fluorescence that will indicate where an individual is homozygous for the c-g allele, heterozygous for the c-g/a-t allele or homozygous for the t-a single nucleotide polymorphism allele. Mutation that leads to sickle cell anemia o. The gene for the beta-globin protein lies on an autosome (specifically chromosome # This means that every person carries two alleles for the gene (one from father and one from mother) o.
