Hybaid's Dynamic Allele Specific Hybridization system Understanding the relationship between genetic variations at the nucleotide sequence level and human disease will profoundly change prevention and treatment methods in the next decade. The DNA sequence information produced through the Human Genome Project will reveal thousands of variations at single nucleotides, termed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Such sequence variations in DNA may disrupt gene function and be causally associated
