In large-scale, genome-wide association studies in humans we look for ________.
A) lengthy sequences that might be shared by most members of a population
B) SNPs where one allele is found more often in persons with a particular disorder than in healthy controls
C) SNPs where one allele is found in families with a particular introns sequence
D) SNPs where one allele is found in two or more adjacent genes
E) large inversions that displace the centromere

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Large-scale, genome-wide association studies in humans look for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) where one allele is found more often in persons with a particular disorder than in healthy controls. This allows researchers to identify genetic variations that may be associated with increased susceptibility to certain diseases or conditions.
