| This workshop is an introduction to the
discovery and use of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs)
as markers for genetic studies. The course includes sections
on the use of human genome sequence databases, annotation
of baseline (reference) sequence data, PCR primer selection
and methods for SNP discovery, sequencing methods, and
the practical application of many software tools needed
for SNP discovery. In addition, a series of short lectures
will cover approaches to candidate gene studies, an introduction
to population genetics principles, the analysis and use
of haplotypes, and the selection and use of polymorphic
markers for genotype-phenotype analysis. The variation
workshop focuses on the latest approaches for identifying
SNPs and evaluating associations and linkage disequilibrium
with other genetic markers. |
