Chicken single nucleotide polymorphism identification and selection for genetic mapping

Chicken single nucleotide polymorphism identification and selection for genetic mapping.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) are the ideal markers for high-density genome wide mapping. A total of 327,000 expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences, obtained from the ChickEST project, were examined for the presence of SNP. A total of 32,268 potential chicken SNP were identified and stored in a customized Microsoft Access database and evaluated in silico for their usability for a high-d...

Single-nucleotide polymorphism mapping.

Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mapping is the easiest and most reliable way to map genes in Caenorhabditis elegans. SNPs are extremely dense and usually have no associated phenotype, making them ideal markers for mapping. SNP mapping has three steps. First, recombinant mutant animals are generated over a polymorphic strain (usually CB4856) using standard genetic techniques. Second, the ge...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Mapping Using Multi-Layer Unique Markers

As a great number of the genomic DNA sequences can now be generated in a day, the demand for a very fast and accurate method for positioning genomic DNA sequences on a genome is high. A unique marker is a sequence which appears only once in a genome. The unique marker method is an efficient method to perform this task. The amount of time needed for positioning genomic DNA sequences grows rapidl...
