SNPs - Identification and Uses Course

Course Description:

The SNPs course covers the methods used to identify and detect SNPs, and the uses of SNPs as markers for disease association and other genome-wide screening approaches.

Course Objectives:

> List the three common types of polymorphisms

> Define what a SNP is and how it originates

> Describe the three types of methods used to identify and detect SNPs

> Specify the resources that are available for SNP analyses

> Calculate the normalized rates of SNP occurrence

> List two examples of SNP genotyping methods

> Define the requirements of genotyping assays

> Explain the use of SNPs as genetic markers

> Describe the use of SNPs for association studies
