A tag SNP is a representative single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP's) in a region of the genome with high linkage disequilibrium (the non-random association of alleles at two or more loci).
Although the caimans have much narrower bodies, they are most closely related to alligators and crocodiles. Caimans are found in a variety of habitats throughout Central and South America from marshes and swamps to mangrove rivers and lakes.he average length for most of the other caiman species if about 2.5 meters long. The caiman is a carnivorous predators and, like the alligator and the crocodile, the caiman has a diet that consists of a great deal of fish.
Caimans come in a wide variety of jaw shapes, from very broad (the broad-snouted caiman, for example) to the wedge shape most people associate with crocodiles (some subspecies of the spectacled caiman and even the smooth-fronted caiman).
