In genetics, a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) denotes a specific position at an exact location in the DNA where genetic variations are known to occur among humans. The human is about long. There are around and roughly 4 to 5 million of those are wide-spread global variations. Different variations in genetics letters at these locations can have effects on your body.
The snp of the day is featured in green and highlights the letter combination C/C. In DNA there are only four possible letters: A, T, C and G, which are called . The sequence of the genetic letters is like your personal code, which differentiates you from the rest of the world.
It's that simple! Your personal letter code is what makes you unique!
Each DNA consists of a primary strand (shown with genetic letters in colors) and a second strand with complementary letters. Only the primary strand is relevant for the encoding of information.
Browse left and right to see SNPs in the proximity!Since SNP variations are what makes you unique, they are also responsible for various effects on your body. Effects are either your traits or diseases that you might have. Depending on what genetic letter combination you have, certain effects potentially apply to you.
