Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...

Area of Science:

Genomics
Plant breeding

Background:

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are common in genomes and useful for marker-assisted selection.
Polyploid plants, such as wheat, have complex genomes with highly similar homoeologous sequences that complicate SNP-based genotyping.
There is a need for high-throughput genotyping systems for polyploid crops.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and present a high-throughput genotyping system for polyploid species, specifically allohexaploid wheat.
To utilize public SNPs from agronomically important genes and expressed sequence tags.
To overcome challenges posed by homoeologous sequences in polyploid genomes.

Main Methods:

Utilized public single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified in wheat.
Employed non-amplified genomic DNA and padlock probe pairs.
Implemented high annealing temperatures to distinguish between similar homoeologous sequences.

Main Results:

The developed system demonstrates the capability to differentiate between homoeologous sequences in the wheat genome.
Padlock probes were effective in discriminating between these similar sequences.
The system facilitates high-throughput genotyping in polyploid wheat.

Conclusions:

Padlock probes are a viable tool for discriminating homoeologous sequences in polyploid genomes.
The presented system enables efficient genotyping of wheat varieties, supporting marker-assisted selection.
This technology addresses a critical need in the breeding of polyploid crops.
