Defining Single Nucleotide Polymorphic (SNP) Variants Role of Human Angiotensinogen in Liver Fibrosis
The sequencing of human genome has lead to define the variations among individuals, which is quite astonishing. With the advent of single nucleotide variants among genes, that is believed to be present in every 1.0 kb in human genome, determining the effects of these variants on biological process has been a daunting task. Utilizing the modern molecular biological techniques, the role(s) of the SNPs in promoter elements has been defined in... view moreĀ»
