"Genotyping is the process of using biological experiments to examine an individual's DNA sequence, and comparing the target sequence with another individual's sequence or reference sequence to determine individual genetic composition (genotype) differences.

Genotyping helps determine differences in the individual's genetic makeup, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and large structural changes in DNA. Genotyping analysis plays an important role in research of genes and gene variants associated with disease. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and microarrays enable a deeper understanding of disease etiology on a molecular level. With multiple genomic targets potentially contributing to disease, analysis requires flexibility and accuracy. SNP genotyping and copy number variation (CNV) data analysis tools can analyze results for millions of markers and probes and detect sample outliers, providing insight into the functional consequences of genetic variation. SNP genotyping is also used in many scientific disciplines including personalized medicine, plant and animal biotechnology." https://bioinfo.cd-genomic...
