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.
DNA profiling tools to teach undergraduate students about forensics generally utilize the PV92 Alu and D1S80 VNTR markers, but are both limited in scope. In contrast, advanced profiling syste...
