The invention encompasses methods and products related to genotyping. The
method of genotyping of the invention is based on the use of single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to perform high throughput genome scans.
The high throughput method can be performed by hybridizing SNP
allele-specific oligonucleotides and a reduced complexity genome (RCG).
The invention also relates to methods of preparing the SNP specific
oligonucleotides and RCGs, methods of fingerprinting, determining allele
frequency for a SNP, characterizing tumors, generating a genomic
classification code for a genome, identifying previously unknown SNPs, and
related compositions and kits.
