Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are variations at a single position in the DNA sequence that occur commonly across a population, making them the most abundant type of human genetic variation. Each SNP represents a difference in one nucleotide, the basic building block of DNA, between individuals, and while most are biologically neutral, some affect gene function, protein structure, or regulation. SNPs are widely used as markers in genetics because their locations and inheritance patterns allow researchers to identify genetic risk factors for disease, study population differences, and conduct genetic association and linkage studies, and they underpin much of personalized and pharmacogenomic medicine. In DNA And RNA Research, SNP analysis spans disease association, regulatory variation, and clinical application. The journal's articles include work on SNPs related to fatty liver disease in the context of HIV treatment, SNP profiling to personalize immunosuppressive therapy after renal rejection, and computational analysis of regulatory SNPs in relation to high-altitude adaptation. Additional studies address screening methods for gene polymorphisms, polymorphisms in epilepsy, sex-dependent genetic associations in liver disease, fertility-related variants in cattle, and genotype-incompatibility testing using mother-offspring data. These reflect research themes in genetic variation, regulatory and disease-associated polymorphisms, and the translation of SNP data into individualized treatment.
