No monkey business: A SNP database for the rhesus macaque

Who was the winner of the 2006 congressional elections in the U.S.? Why, the Macaca genus, of course. Never before has a model organism garnered so much public attention in such a brief timespan. Now, the initial version of a SNP database termed MamuSNP has been released, containing around 23,000 candidate SNPs widely distributed throughout the genome of the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta).

Ménage à trois: SNP detection using triplex-forming probes

Two's company, three's a crowd – what may be problematic for human relations appears to be just fine for SNP detection. Triplex-forming oligonucleotide probes have now been shown to reliably identify SNPs in human genomic samples, opening the door to the more widespread use of this PCR-free technology for SNP diagnostics.

SNPing away at the frequency of Listeria outbreaks using multilocus genotyping

With all the recent news of bacterial infections caused by contaminated food items, government inspectors need all the tools they can get to ensure the safety of our food supply. Towards this end, USDA scientists have recently announced the development of a multilocus genotyping assay to facilitate the rapid identification of Listeria subtypes based on SNPs.
