Single base-pair variations in a DNA sequence can affect how individuals within a population develop disease, or respond to pathogens, chemicals and drugs. The characterisation of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) is critical in the research of disease, in drug discovery, and crop and livestock breeding. To facilitate this research, new and innovative products have been developed to detect, measure and analyze SNPs in individual genomes with more accuracy and speed than ever before. The provision of high quality DNA in sufficient volume for analysis is essential to the study of SNPs and as such accurate isolation, amplification and subsequent sequencing of DNA are integral parts of most SNP analysis experiments.
