- Single nucleotide polymorphism: (genetics) genetic variation in a DNA sequence that occurs when a single nucleotide in a genome is altered; SNPs are usually considered to be point mutations that have been evolutionarily successful enough to recur in a significant proportion of the population of ...
- In computational complexity theory, SNP (from Strict NP) is a complexity class containing a limited subset of NP based on its logical characterization in terms of graph-theoretical properties. It forms the basis for the definition of the class MaxSNP of optimization problems.
- (SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms)) Differences in just one the DNA base pairs in the genetic sequence which can affect the functioning of a gene. SNPs are one form of gene (DNA) marker.
- Slimy NAR Politician. Coined by NAR President Mark "Bunny" Bundick, it refers to an SNI (q.v.) who actually manages to get elected to the NAR board.
- Single Nucleotide Polymorphism, pronounced "snip". SNP is a small genetic change, or variation, that can occur within a person's DNA sequence. See the SNP Fact Sheet, SNP's: Variations on a Theme and the SNP database at NCBI
- Single nucleotide polymorphism; a site on the DNA strand at which the base sequence differs among individuals (Pronounce "snip"). See also: SNP chips, SNPs
- SNPs are single nucleotide variations that differ between individuals. There is thought to be one SNP for every 500-1000 bases and 3-5 million SNPs in the entire human genome, with SNPs in around 500,000 gene regions. ...
- Genetic polymorphisms are natural variations in the genomic DNA sequence present in greater than 1% of the population, with SNP representing DNA variations in a single nucleotide. ...
- SNPs are common variations that occur in DNA with a 0.1% frequency. Ensembl displays SNPs obtained from dbSNP, (the SNP repository maintained by NCBI; The Human Genic Bi-Allelic Sequences Database (HGVBase) and The SNP Consortium Ltd.(TSC).
