Refimprove date November 2010 Genotyping is the process of determining the genes genotype of an individual by examining the individual s DNA sequence by using bioassay biological assays . More accurately, genotyping is the use of DNA sequences to define biological populations, by use of molecular tools such as restriction fragment length polymorphism identification RFLPI of genomic DNA, random amplified polymorphic detection RAPD of genomic DNA, and amplified fragment length polymorphism detection AFLPD . Genotyping does not necessarily involve defining the genes of an individual. Current methods of genotyping include PCR , DNA sequencing , Allele specific oligonucleotide ASO probes, and Sequencing by hybridization hybridization to DNA microarray s or beads. Genotyping is important in research of genes associated with disease. Due to current technological limitations, almost all genotyping is partial. That is, only a small fraction of an individual s genotype is determined.

Hervotyping, like genotyping , is the process of determining the specific sequence of a particular HERV. With more research on HERV, it is now known that HERV may not be monomorphic and a HERV insertion may be present in various allele s. Therefore, it is important to know the hervotype of a HERV insertion as the sequences can give more information on their ages. It is now believed that it is not enough to say whether a HERV is present or present in full form but hervotypes are essential in evaluating their relationship to human disease and to know their true contribution in evolution of humans.

Refimprove date July 2008 A Mendelian error in the Genetics genetic analysis of a species, describes an allele in an individual which could not have been received from either of its biological parents by Mendelian inheritance . Inheritance is defined by a set of related individuals who have the same or similar phenotype s for a locus of a particular gene. A Mendelian error means that the very structure of the inheritance as defined by analysis of the parental genes is incorrect one parent of one individual is not actually the parent indicated therefore the assumption is that the parental information is incorrect. ref cite web url http 209.85.165.104 search?q cache n4FmMX6xBZIJ www.inra.fr mia T degivry Schiex05a.pdf Mendelian error&hl en&ct clnk&cd 2&gl us title Mendelian error detection in complex pedigree using weighted constraint satisfaction techniques publisher 209.85.165.104 accessdate 2008 07 13 last first ref The possible explanations are multiple and can be due to experimental genotyping errors or to the erroneous assignment of the individuals as relatives. Mendelian error is established by demonstrating the existence of a trait which is inconsistent with every possible combination of genotype compatible with the individual. This method of determination requires pedigree checking, however, and establishing a contradiction between phenotype and pedigree is an NP complete problem. Genetic inconsistencies which do not correspond to this definition are Non Mendelian Errors. Statistical genetics analysis is used to detect these errors and to detect the possibility of the individual being linked to a specific disease linked to a single gene. Examples of such diseases in humans caused by single genes are Huntington s disease or Marfan syndrome . ref cite web url http bioinf.wehi.edu.au folders melanie statgenhowto.html title Statistical Genetics Analysis publisher bioinf.wehi.edu.au accessdate 2008 07 13 last first ref See also SNP genotyping Footnotes reflist htt ... more details

An STR multiplex system is used to quickly identify specific short tandem repeat s. STR Polymorphism biology polymorphism s are genetic marker s that may be used to identify a DNA sequence . The FBI uses 13 specific STR loci in their database. These may be used in many areas of genetics in addition to their legal uses. One can think of a STR Multiplex System as collection of certain specific STRs which are positionally conserved on a target genome. Hence these can be used as markers. A number of different STRs along with their loci in a particular genome can be used for genotyping . As for example the STR Multiplex System AmpFlSTR Profiler Plus contain these STRs D3S1358, VWA, FGA, Amelogenin, D8S1179, D21S11, D18S51, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, and they can be used as markers for human genome is used for human identification purpose.

Sequencing by Hybridization is a class of methods for determining the order in which nucleotides occur on a strand of DNA . Typically used for looking for small changes relative to a known DNA sequence . The binding of one strand of DNA to its complementary strand in the DNA double helix aka hybridization is sensitive to even single base mismatches when the hybrid region is short or is specialized mismatch detection proteins are present. This is exploited in a variety of ways, most notable via DNA chips or microarrays with thousands to billions of synthetic oligonucleotides found in a genome of interest plus many known variations or even all possible single base variations.
