Relying on my memory, Behe in Edge of Evolution considers the likelihood of mutations other than single-nucleotide substitutions producing the equivalent of more than two point mutations simultaneously.

But I think you missed my point: neo-Darwinism insists that single-nucleotide mutations can eventually bring about macroevolution.

The paper uses statistical analysis of the distributions of linkage disequilibria in single-nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs to detect genes under recent selection pressure, and finds that at least 10% of human genes have been under such selection.

"We chose that one because it has three well-defined single-nucleotide polymorphisms, three very distinct positions where mutations tend to occur, and it's linked to a whole heap of diseases," said Johnston.

We therefore genotyped the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were implicated by Zhang and colleagues in two Indian case-control cohorts (492 patients in New Delhi and 382 in Kolkata).

Researchers also better understand how slight genetic variations, or single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), in each of our genomes can alter our individual responses to medications.

Low to moderate intake also did not affect a variety of markers (single-nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs) which influence alcohol metabolism.
