Identification and mapping of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human genome

Abstract

The invention relates to the role of genes in human diseases. More particularly, the invention relates to compositions and methods for identifying genes that are involved in human disease conditions. The invention provides identification and mapping of a very large number of SNPs throughout the entire human genome. This contribution allows scientists to isolate and identify genes that are relevant to the prevention, causation, or treatment of human disease conditions.

1. A SNP probe consisting of an oligonucleotide that is complementary to a SNP nucleic acid selected from the SNP nucleic acids shown in SEQ ID NOs.:1-1,226,818.
