The SNP is a democratic left-of-centre political party committed to Scottish independence. It aims to create a just, caring and enterprising society by releasing Scotland's full potential as an independent nation in the mainstream of modern Europe. The SNP was founded in 1934 and has had continuous parliamentary representation since 1967. At the first Scottish Parliament elections, held in 1999, the SNP returned a total number of 35 MSPs and is now the Official Opposition in the Scottish Parliament.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

A difference in a single nucleotide at a particular DNA site [that is] used as [a] genomic [masker] for human (or other) populations.

CONT

A tool is under way to catalogue genetic variations among single DNA bases, known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, pronounced "snips"), which can be used in characterizing drug responses. The National Institutes of Health has launched a $36-million, three-year program to collect data on 50,000 to 100,000 SNPs, a new goal for its Human Genome Project.

DEF

Différence génétique entre individus d'une même population, correspondant à la variation d'une seule base dans une séquence nucléotidique déterminée.

CONT

Le but de cette coopération est de mettre au point par Nanogen une méthode pour cartographier les «polymorphismes de nucléotides simples» [...] Les SNP sont le type le plus fréquent de variations individuelles dans les séquences d'ADN humain.

OBS

Il existe plus de trois millions de ces variations.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Genética
DEF

Marcador genético resultante de la variación en una secuencia situada en una determinada posición dentro de una secuencia de ADN.

CONT

Los SNP provienen generalmente de cambios por transición (A [adenina] por G [guanina], T [timina] por C [citosina]), por transversión (G o A por T o C) o por deleción de una única base. Esta variación se encuentra en todos los genomas y tiene como ventaja específica el poder detectarla sin necesidad de emplear electroforesis en gel.

OBS

SNP por sus siglas en inglés.
