Mention any two ways in which single nucleotide polymorphism `(SNP_(S))` identified in human genome can bring revolutionary change in biological and medical science.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Scientists have identified about 1.4 million locations, where single base DNA differences `(SNP_(s)` Single nucleotidepolymorphism - pronounced as .snips.) occur in humans. Identification of .SNIPS. is helpful in finding chromosomal locations for disease associatedsequences and tracing human history.
