 | | Ultimately, SNP technology may lead to the development of "personalized medicine," in which disease prevention strategies and treatments are more closely tailored to an individual's genetic profile. |
 | | As it is constructed, the SNP map will be made publicly available to medical researchers worldwide at the same time it becomes available to members of the Consortium, according to Lincoln Stein, MD, PhD, of the bioinformatics program at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, the group responsible for managing the Consortium's SNP database. |
 | | The SNP Consortium — an innovative collaboration among industry, the world's largest medical research charity, and several leading academic institutions — is organized as a non-profit entity whose goal is to create and make publicly available a high-quality SNP map of the human genome. |
