Treating Your Pet for Fleas. 1  1. Clean your pet regularly. 2  2. Use a flea product on your cat or dog. 3  3. Rotate the skin treatments and always use them in tandem with an IGR (insect growth regulator). 4  4. Administer Capstar initially to rid your pet of a flea infestation quickly.  5. Add deterrents to the pet's meal.
Single nucleotide polymorphism analysis and mutation detection. SNP DEFINITION. DNA sequence variations that occur when a single nucleotide (A, T, C, or G) in the genome sequence is altered.Each individual has many single nucleotide polymorphisms that together create a unique DNA pattern for that person.SNPs promise to significantly advance our ability to understand and treat human disease.NA sequence variations that occur when a single nucleotide (A, T, C, or G) in the genome sequence is altered. Each individual has many single nucleotide polymorphisms that together create a unique DNA pattern for that person.
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms may fall within coding sequences of genes, non-coding regions of genes, or in the intergenic regions (regions between genes). SNPs within a coding sequence do not necessarily change the amino acid sequence of the protein that is produced, due to degeneracy of the genetic code.NPs that are not in protein-coding regions may still affect gene splicing, transcription factor binding, messenger RNA degradation, or the sequence of non-coding RNA. Gene expression affected by this type of SNP is referred to as an eSNP (expression SNP) and may be upstream or downstream from the gene.
