Document Summary

Dna polymorphisms: one of two or more alternate forms of a chromosomal regions (alleles) Can differ by a single base or variable number of tandem repeats. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (snp): variation in a single nucleotide that occurs at a specific position in the genome. Found in both coding and non-coding regions (mostly non-coding) Occurs about once in every 350 base pairs (high frequency) Used as genetic markers for specific genes. Are heritable; each individual in a population has their own snp profile. Variable number tandem repeats (vntr): multiple identical copies of nucleotide regions (can be thousands of base pairs long) that occur across a population. Can be identified through pcr and gel electrophoresis. Simple sequence repeats: repeats as short as two nucleotides that repeat over and over again in dna. Can be used to identify individuals and show relatedness (fingerprints) Most variations are silent variations and have no known effect (occur in non-coding regions)
