Question | Answer |
Size of Human genome | 3.2 X 109 bp |
Total SNPs | > 11 Million |
Human vs Chimp | 99% similar for SNPs 96% similar overall |
Human vs Human | 99.9% similar for SNPs |
Large INDELS / translocations/ inversions | Rare but serious |
Tandem repeat polymorphisms | Microsatellites (1-6 bp) Minisatellites (11-100 bp) Many cause genetic diseases Used in fingerprinting predicted to be > 100,000 |
SNPs | ~ 1 per 300 bp (one snp per 0.1 to 1 kb length) |
Transitions | Purines (A,G) interconversions Pyrimidine (C,T) interconversions |
Transversions | Purine (A,G) <-> Pyramidine (C,T) |
most frequent SNP | C->T (2/3 ofa all SNPs) |
SNP if | frequency in population > 1% (Point mutation fixed in the population) |
Mutation if | < 1% |
SNPs ideal genomic markers | Dense Easy to assay |
