Background: Polymerase chain reaction with confronting two-pair primers (PCR-CTPP) method produces allele-specific DNA bands of different lengths by adding four designed primers and it achieves the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping by electrophoresis without further steps. It is a time- and cost-effective SNP genotyping method that has the advantage of simplicity. However, computation of feasible CTPP primers is still challenging.
Results: In this study, we propose a GA (genetic algorithm)-based method to design a feasible CTPP primer set to perform a reliable PCR experiment. The SLC6A4 gene was tested with 288 SNPs for dry dock experiments which indicated that the proposed algorithm provides CTPP primers satisfied most primer constraints. One SNP rs12449783 in the SLC6A4 gene was taken as an example for the genotyping experiments using electrophoresis which validated the GA-based design method as providing reliable CTPP primer sets for SNP genotyping.
Conclusions: The GA-based CTPP primer design method provides all forms of estimation for the common primer constraints of PCR-CTPP. The GA-CTPP program is implemented in JAVA and a user-friendly input interface is freely available at http://bio.kuas.edu.tw/ga-ctpp/.

Background: The study aimed to detect the association between insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) polymorphisms among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Materials And Methods: This study involved 500 individuals; 250 obese DM cases and 250 healthy controls. The polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to identify the genotype of the IGF2BP2 gene for the small nucleoproteins rs4402960 (G>T) and small nucleoproteins rs800795 (G>C).

Introduction: We have reanalyzed the genomic data from the International Collaboration for the Genomics of HIV (ICGH), focusing on HIV-1 Elite Controllers (EC).
Methods: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed, comparing 543 HIV-1 EC individuals with 3,272 uninfected controls (CTR) of European ancestry. 8 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and HLA class I and class II gene alleles were imputed to compare EC and CTR.

Background: Since their domestication, recent inbreeding together with intensive artificial selection and population bottlenecks have allowed the prevalence of deleterious mutations and the increase of runs-of-homozygosity (ROH) in domestic pigs. This makes pigs a good model to understand the genetic underpinnings of inbreeding depression.
Results: Here we integrated a comprehensive dataset comprising 7239 domesticated pigs and wild boars genotyped by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chips, along with phenotypic data encompassing growth, reproduction and disease-associated traits.
