  Single nucleotide polymorphism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism or SNP (pronounced snip) 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 species (or between paired chromosomes in an individual).
SNPs within a coding sequence will not necessarily change the amino acid sequence of the protein that is produced, due to redundancy in the genetic code.
SNPs that are not in protein coding regions may still have consequences for gene splicing, transcription factor binding, or the sequence of non-coding RNA.

 SNPs: Variations on a Theme
SNP variation occurs when a single nucleotide, such as an A, replaces one of the other three nucleotide letters—C, G, or T. An example of a SNP is the alteration of the DNA segment AAGGTTA to ATGGTTA, where the second "A" in the first snippet is replaced with a "T".
SNPs found within a coding sequence are of particular interest to researchers because they are more likely to alter the biological function of a protein.
Finding single nucleotide changes in the human genome seems like a daunting prospect, but over the last 20 years, biomedical researchers have developed a number of techniques that make it possible to do just that.

 SNP Fact Sheet
Single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs (pronounced "snips") are DNA sequence variations that occur when a single nucleotide (A,T,C,or G) in the genome sequence is altered.
SNPs are also evolutionarily stable --not changing much from generation to generation --making them easier to follow in population studies.
SNP data were made available through a consortium Web site at quarterly intervals during the project's first year and at monthly intervals during the second year.

SNP is one of those overloaded acronyms that can represent different phrases, depending on the context.
You are correct that SNP often stands for "single nucleotide polymorphism".
In addition to single nucleotide polymorphisms, this annotation also includes insertions, deletions, and segmental mutations (multiple nucleotide polymorphisms).

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are common DNA sequence variations among individuals.
However, genomic map locations have yet to be released for these SNPs in a form that we can use, but as soon as such data are available the TSC genome browser database will be updated.
Hopefully some of these new SNPs will turn out to be unique SNPs and thus useful to the community, but until their genome positions are known they will only be accessible via their TSC IDs (example: TSC1268304)

Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection technologies are used to scan for new polymorphisms and to determine the allele(s) of a known polymorphism in target sequences.
SNP detection technologies have evolved from labor intensive, time consuming, and expensive processes to some of the most highly automated, efficient, and relatively inexpensive methods.
The demand for SNP genotyping is great, however, and no one method is able to meet the needs of all studies using SNPs.
