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. 3, record 1, English, - single%2Dnucleotide%20polymorphism

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. 1, record 1, Spanish, - polimorfismo%20de%20un%20solo%20nucle%C3%B3tido
