Exempel på polymorphism

• The present study evaluated the genetic diversity, structure and differentiation in a grape germplasm collection using polymorphisms at eight microsatellite loci.

• Interestingly, patterns of polymorphisms in pfcrt have been correlated with geographical location.

• In total, 70 % of unique polymorphisms checked in a second clone were confirmed as true polymorphisms.

• In this review, we discuss the currently known polymorphisms in helminths generally, and then proceed to consider the filarial nematodes in particular.

• Characterization of single nucleotide polymorphisms in coding regions of human genes.

• Table 1 lists the platelet glycoprotein antigen polymorphisms and their relation to clinical disease.

• The possible functional implications of the analysed polymorphisms are considered.

• Accounting for human polymorphisms predicted to affect protein function.

• Contrasting evolutionary forces driving population structure at expressed sequence tag polymorphisms, allozymes and quantitative traits in white spruce.

• Only biallelic polymorphisms (both point mutations and indels) are included.

• While this obviously means that most polymorphisms are non-lethal, they could still have subtle implications for human health.

• Testing for these polymorphisms is relatively simple and cheap.

• None of the polymorphisms was shared or fixed between the two chromosomal types.

• Genetic load in natural populations : is it compatible with the hypothesis that many polymorphisms are maintained by natural selection ?

• Instead, neutrality tests produced significantly negative test statistics, reflecting an excess of singleton polymorphisms.
