But DNA chip technology for scanning these so-called single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs ("snips"), was prohibitively expensive in 2000.

We see the evolution and progression of the monsters from each game, with little snips of information on each.

It focused narrowly on areas in and around active genes, ignoring the 98.5% of genomic material known as "junk DNA." This process pinpointed 25, 000 genetic landmarks called SNPS (single nucleotide polymorphisms, or "snips"), places where a single dna letter varies from one person to the next.
