SNP, which stands for “single nucleotide polymorphism”, is a disease that causes a genetic alteration common in many individuals. The disease occurs when there is a single change in the nucleotide, or a building block of DNA consisting of Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine. On average, SNP is located around every 300 nucleotides, which is a total of 10 million in the human genome. In our lab, we observed a variation of SNP located on the 7:117587799 chromosome. This specific SNP was linked to cystic fibrosis. | |||

For this lab, two sets of primers were designed, the non-disease primers and the disease-specific primers. The non-disease forward primer was written from the position of the SNP for a sequence of 20 bases long, and its reverse primary was written till the base that was 200 base pairs to the right of the SNP. Then, the disease primers were written by changing the final base of the non-disease forward primer to match the disease SNP nucleotide. | |||
We ran two different tests with the non-disease and the disease-specific primers. From the tests, we observed that the non-disease primers resulted in a match with the same chromosome as the chromosome we found earlier, confirming our results. In addition, the disease primers produced no matches, since the diseased codon would mutate at the AGT sites. | |||

Template DNA: Separates into two strands.
Template DNA: The two single strands tend to go back together but the abundance of primers in the tube prevents them of doing this.
Template DNA: DNA is now bind by the primers and Taq Polymerase, ready to be synthesized.
Template DNA: Each single-strand is synthesized in a copy of the original double stranded DNA molecule.
Template DNA: There is now two DNA molecules for each original template DNA at each PCR cycle, and the synthesized molecules are stabilized at the low temperature. Nucleotide Base Pairing

SNP Information & Primer DesignBackground: About the Disease SNP SNP, which stands for “single nucleotide polymorphism”, is a disease that causes a genetic alteration common in many individuals. The disease occurs when there is a single change in the nucleotide, or a building block of DNA consisting of Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine. On average, SNP is located around every 300 nucleotides, which is a total of 10 million in the human genome. In our lab, we observed a variation of SNP located on the 7:117587799 chromosome.
