Did you mean Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms?

GlossarySingle Nucleotide Polymorphisms

variations in a single DNA building block among individuals

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are variations at a single position in a DNA sequence among individuals. These genetic differences can influence how people develop diseases, respond to pathogens, chemicals, drugs, and other substances, making them crucial for personalized medicine and genetic research.
