Popis: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common form of genetic variation in the human genome. Because of their low mutation rate, SNPs have the potential to be as discriminating as loci of higher polymorphism, e.g. for forensic approaches such as paternity tests or human identification in general. To balance the lack of polymorphic information the number of markers which are tested has to be increased. Here, we introduce a new automated platform for SNP genotyping by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), easy to use as well for higher DNA sample throughput as also for the analysis of an increased number of SNPs.
