    determining genetic makeup by analyzing DNA sequences

    Genotyping is the process of determining the genetic makeup of an individual by examining their DNA sequence. This can reveal variations in genes that may be linked to specific traits or conditions, such as susceptibility to certain diseases or response to medications. It is also known as DNA typing and is commonly used in research, medicine, and forensics to identify genetic differences and similarities.
