==Sentence issue==
"As SNPs are highly conserved throughout evolution and within a population..."- an incorrect sentence. SNPs are not highly conserved, most SNPs fall outside coding sequences and outside regulatory regions, most SNPs are in nonfunctional DNA and evolving neutrally, only a small minority of SNPs are under selection. Also it makes little sense to say "SNPs are highly conserved throughout evolution" because SNPs are by definition intra-species variation (that's what a polymorphism is). If a SNP was "highly conserved" then it would be the same nucleotide in every individual of a species and across multiple species, but then it would no longer be classified as a SNP as it would be fixed in the population/species. The 2nd half of the sentence, "the map of SNPs serves as an excellent genotypic marker for research", has no clear meaning. I suggest the whole sentence is removed.

==Probes <-> Targets==

I think that probe and target are mixed up in the explanation (Section: Principles).

Do you say "S-N-P" or "snip"? <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/92.213.30.142|92.213.30.142]] ([[User talk:92.213.30.142|talk]]) 19:40, 20 May 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
