Unraveling the Genetic Code: Exploring Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs)

Welcome to "ATP for Learning" with Aashish! In today's episode, we continue our exciting journey of knowledge by diving into the world of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). Join us as we explore the significance of these genomic variants at a single base position in the DNA.

SNPs, pronounced as "snips," are fascinating genetic variations that scientists study to understand their influence on various aspects such as health, disease, drug response, and other traits. These single-letter changes in our genetic code, scattered across our genomes, hold valuable insights into the genetic contributors of common complex diseases like diabetes.

In this episode, we unravel the importance of SNPs and how they serve as markers to identify areas of the genome associated with specific conditions. By comparing the SNP patterns of thousands of individuals with and without certain diseases, scientists can pinpoint genetic causes and delve deeper into the mechanisms behind these conditions.
