Multiple Testing for SNP-SNP Interactions [PDF]
Most genetic diseases are complex, i.e. associated to combinations of SNPs rather than individual SNPs. In the last few years, this topic has often been addressed in terms of SNP-SNP interaction patterns given as expressions linked by logical operators.

SNP-Flankplus: SNP ID-centric retrieval for SNP flanking sequences [PDF]
The flanking sequences provided by dbSNP of NCBI are usually short and fixed length without further extension, thus making the design of appropriate PCR primers difficult. Here, we introduce a tool named "SNP-Flankplus" to provide a web environment for retrieval of SNP flanking sequences from both the dbSNP and the nucleotide databases of NCBI. Two SNP

SNP-VISTA: An interactive SNP visualization tool [PDF]
Abstract Background Recent advances in sequencing technologies promise to provide a better understanding of the genetics of human disease as well as the evolution of microbial populations. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are established genetic markers that aid in the identification of loci affecting quantitative ...

SNP-SNP interactions in breast cancer susceptibility [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundBreast cancer predisposition genes identified to date (e.g., BRCA1 and BRCA2) are responsible for less than 5% of all breast cancer cases. Many studies have shown that the cancer risks associated with individual commonly occurring single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are incremental.

SNP-PHAGE – High throughput SNP discovery pipeline [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as defined here are single base sequence changes or short insertion/deletions between or within individuals of a given species. As a result of their abundance and the availability of high throughput analysis technologies SNP markers have begun to replace other traditional markers such as ...

Low-density genotype panel for both parentage verification and discovery in a multi-breed sheep population [PDF]
peer-reviewedThe generally low usage of artificial insemination and single-sire mating in sheep, compounded by mob lambing (and lambing outdoors), implies that parentage assignment in sheep is challenging.
