SNPs and population affinity

[arnikastern]

Hi Folks,

What tools do you use or can you recommend for the detection and analysis of population specific SNPs (e.g. in view to diseases)?

I have an interest in this, but am currently working on another project. So, my knowledge is very limited.

I know there are databases of known SNPs which you can use to filter out the discovered variants in your data sets. Try searching for information about these databases and the tools that utilize them:

dbSNP
1000 Genomes

If I understand correctly. These are separated by ethnicity to account for population stratification (basically, population specific SNPs).

Good luck. Please share what you know here.
