genetic polymorphisms

What Methods are Used to Study Genetic Polymorphisms?

Several methods are employed to study genetic polymorphisms, including:
- GWAS: This approach scans the genome for SNPs associated with specific diseases.
- Genotyping: Techniques like PCR and microarrays are used to detect known polymorphisms.
- Sequencing: Whole-genome or targeted sequencing can identify both known and novel polymorphisms.
These methods enable researchers to map genetic variations and correlate them with disease phenotypes.
