Description-en: Binary code for the package snp-sites
This program finds single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites from
multi-fasta alignment input files (which might be compressed). Its
output can be in various widely used formats (Multi Fasta Alignment,
Vcf, phylip).
.
The software has been developed at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.
.
A Single Nucleotide - polymorphism (SNP, pronounced snip; plural snips)
is a DNA sequence variation occurring when a Single Nucleotide — A, T, C
or G — in the genome (or other shared sequence) differs between members
of a biological species or paired chromosomes. For example, two
sequenced DNA fragments from different individuals, AAGCCTA to AAGCTTA,
contain a difference in a single nucleotide. In this case there are two
alleles. Almost all common SNPs have only two alleles.
