Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are key indicators of genetic variation between individuals.
  • Publicly available SNP data often requires verification, and locus-specific methods have limitations.
  • Distinguishing true SNPs from sequencing noise is a significant challenge in genetic analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a reliable method for verifying and identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
  • To create automated software for accurate SNP detection from sequencing trace data.
  • To enable efficient analysis of genetic variation, including de novo SNPs.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of trace data from conventional sequencing equipment to establish a rule for SNP identification.

  • Development of software that applies this rule to multiply aligned sequences, comparing peak heights.
  • Implementation of functions for allele frequency determination, visualization, and manual sequence verification.

    • Main Results:

    • A novel rule was identified to accurately discern SNPs from background noise in sequencing data.
    • Developed software demonstrates high accuracy in identifying SNPs, even in low-quality sequences.
    • The software successfully determines allele frequencies and facilitates easy sequence editing and verification.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed software provides an accurate and efficient solution for automated SNP identification.
    • This method is valuable for verifying existing SNP data and discovering novel SNPs in specific DNA fragments.
    • The tool enhances the analysis of genetic variation by providing reliable SNP data and allele frequencies.
