DNA genotyping
DNA genotyping describes the process of understanding a DNA sequence, or genotype. Genotyping is performed on a specific position in the genome to provide information that can be used for a variety of medical applications. Genotyping can help determine associations between genes and a disease or can help determine the best course of treatment for an illness.
