Genotyping is an analysis that identifies the DNA information of an individual. Genotyping of specific gene variants across the entire genome and the linkage of these to physical traits is e.g. used to breed desired traits in offspring in aquaculture and agriculture.
Genotyping of wild species can also be used for research and management of populations.
Genotyping is performed using gene markers developed for specific species. Blue Analytics can assist in the development and testing of new genotyping arrays for specific purposes.
To genotype an individual, a tissue sample or cell sample is taken and sent to the laboratory. The analysis begins with extracting the DNA material from the cells, also known as DNA isolation.
