In [[molecular biology]], '''SNP array''' is a type of [[DNA microarray]] which is used to detect [[Polymorphism (biology)|polymorphisms]] within a population. A [[single nucleotide polymorphism]] (SNP), a variation at a single site in [[DNA]], is the most frequent type of variation in the genome. Around 335 million SNPs have been identified in the [[human genome]],<ref>{{cite web|title=dbSNP Summary|url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP/snp_summary.cgi|archive-url=https://archive.today/20121214045801/http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP/snp_summary.cgi|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 14, 2012|website=www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov|accessdate=4 October 2017}}</ref> 15 million of which are present at frequencies of 1% or higher across different populations worldwide.<ref name="DurbinAltshuler2010">{{cite journal|author=The 1000 Genomes Project Consortium|title=A map of human genome variation from population-scale sequencing|journal=Nature|volume=467|issue=7319|year=2010|pages=1061–1073|issn=0028-0836|doi=10.1038/nature09534|pmid=20981092|pmc=3042601|bibcode=2010Natur.467.1061T}}</ref>

Line 7:

# An array containing immobilized [[allele-specific oligonucleotide]] (ASO) probes.

# Fragmented [[nucleic acid]] sequences of target, labelled with fluorescent dyes.

# A detection system that records and interprets the [[DNA-DNADNA–DNA hybridization|hybridization]] signal.

The ASO probes are often chosen based on sequencing of a representative panel of individuals: positions found to vary in the panel at a specified frequency are used as the basis for probes. SNP chips are generally described by the number of SNP positions they assay. Two probes must be used for each SNP position to detect both alleles; if only one probe were used, experimental failure would be indistinguishable from [[homozygosity]] of the non-probed allele.<ref>{{cite book|first1=Ralph| last1=Rapley|first2=Stuart|last2=Harbron|title=Molecular analysis and genome discovery|date=2004|publisher=Wiley|___location=Chichester [u.a.]|isbn=978-0-471-49919-0}}</ref>

High density SNP arrays help scientists identify patterns of allelic imbalance. These studies have potential prognostic and diagnostic uses. Because LOH is so common in many human cancers, SNP arrays have great potential in cancer diagnostics. For example, recent SNP array studies have shown that solid [[tumor]]s such as [[gastric cancer]] and [[hepatocellular carcinoma|liver cancer]] show LOH, as do non-solid malignancies such as [[leukemia|hematologic malignancies]], [[leukemia#acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)|ALL]], [[myelodysplastic syndrome|MDS]], [[Leukemia#Chronic myelogenous|CML]] and others. These studies may provide insights into how these diseases develop, as well as information about how to create therapies for them.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Mao|first1=Xueying|last2=Young|first2=Bryan D|last3=Lu|first3=Yong-Jie|title=The Application of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Microarrays in Cancer Research|journal=Current Genomics|date=2007|volume=8|issue=4|pages=219–228|issn=1389-2029|doi=10.2174/138920207781386924|pmc=2430687|pmid=18645599}}</ref>

Breeding in a number of animal and plant species has been revolutionized by the emergence of SNP arrays. The method is based on the prediction of genetic merit by incorporating relationships among individuals based on SNP array data.<ref name="pmid11290733">{{cite journal |vauthors = Meuwissen TH, Hayes BJ, Goddard ME |title = Prediction of total genetic value using genome-wide dense marker maps |journal = Genetics |volume = 157 |issue = 4 |pages = 1819–29 |year = 2001 |doi = 10.1093/genetics/157.4.1819 |pmid = 11290733 |pmc = 1461589 }}</ref> This process is known as genomic selection.
