Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
DNA sequence variations due to single nucleotide changes or polymorphisms (SNPs) have demonstrated an association with certain diseases as causative agents or surrogate biomarkers. Identification and genotyping of SNPs requires reliable and robust technologies. Multiple genotyping platforms are available to detect SNPs. Although many of these platforms meet the requirements of the research environment, technologies have also emerged for high-throughput clinical genotyping as well. The LightTyper™ is one such platform, providing SNP identification by employing melting curve analysis of fluorescently labeled probes. The LightTyper has been used to identify SNPs associated with myocardial infarction, developing and validating assays for approximately 100 SNPs in 30 candidate genes. The LightTyper is also amenable to the use of assays already developed for the LightCycler™, which is widely used in clinical laboratories. The initial experience presented here suggests the potential use of the LightTyper for high-throughput clinical genotyping. © 2005 Future Drugs Ltd.
