SNP annotation

SNP annotation is a bioinformatics step that attaches functional, regulatory, frequency, and clinical information to SNPs and other small variants, bridging raw variant lists and interpretation.

SNP array

A SNP array is a DNA microarray that genotypes hundreds of thousands to millions of SNPs in one sample, widely used in GWAS and clinical cytogenetics.

SNP detection

SNP detection is the computational identification of single-nucleotide polymorphisms from sequencing data, analyzing aligned reads against a reference genome to locate variable positions and assign genotypes, usually output in VCF format.
