What is Genotyping?

Genotype is the genetic makeup of an individual cell or organism that determines or contributes to its phenotype. The contrasting terms genotype and phenotype are used to define the characteristics or traits of an organism. The phenotype of an organism describes the physical or physiological features of an organism and is the consequence of the expression of the genotypes. However, the genotype is not the only factor that will determine an individual’s phenotype. Various environmental factors also have a role, and these influence the expression of the genes to determine the distinctive phenotype of an organism.

Thus the genotype can’t be seen, but can be determined by phenotype through genotyping test.

Genotyping is the technology that detects small genetic differences that can lead to major changes in phenotype, including both physical differences that make us unique and pathological changes underlying disease. It has a vast range of uses across basic scientific research, medicine, and agriculture.

One of the common method of genotyping is polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which is a method widely used to rapidly make millions to billions of copies (complete or partial) of a specific DNA sample, allowing scientists to take a very small sample of DNA and amplify it (or a part of it) to a large enough amount to study in detail. And then, to use electrophoresis to test DNA sequencing, differential display, identify and prepare DNA etc.to the further analysis and study.

Beijing Liuyi Biotechnology Co., Ltd has specially manufactured electrophoresis products and relevant products for biological industry for more than 50 years, such as electrophoresis power supply, cabinet dark box analyzer, UV transilluminator, and gel document imaging system.
