Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for simultaneously detecting 12 site polymorphisms of human mitochondrial cytb gene, which belongs to the field of genetic engineering. Background technique
[0002] With the completion of the Human Genome Sequencing Project, human beings have entered the post-genome era. Research in this era focused on genetic differences among individuals. The most common of such differences are single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), DNA sequence polymorphisms caused by variations of a single nucleotide at the genomic level. Such polymorphisms are major determinants of human disease susceptibility.
[0003] Cytochrome (Cytochrome, Cyt) is a kind of chromoprotein containing iron porphyrin prosthetic group, which belongs to electron donating body. Cytb gene (Cytochrome b, Cytb) is the region 14747-15887 on the mitochondria, which is a kind of cytochrome. The Cytb gene expresses the corresponding protein across both sides of the me...
