Examples
-
Selecting markers based on the GWA P-values can lead to the inclusion of multiple SNPs in high mutual LD, and this may not be optimal from a predictive perspective.

Synonyms

Morphology
SNP = S + N + P
SNP is an initialism (letters S, N, P) standing for a technical phrase; the letters themselves do not transparently convey the meaning to typical learners unless they know the expanded phrase.
Etymology
SNP stands for single, nucleotide, polymorphism, which you can remember as 'one DNA letter' that can have 'different forms'. Think of a SNP as a one-letter change in a long DNA message, and that's why these small differences help scientists trace traits and disease risk.
