4. A DNA microarray (also commonly known as DNA Chip or biochip) is a collection of microscopic DNA spots attached to a solid surface. Each DNA spot contains picomoles (10−12 moles) of a specific DNA sequence, known as probes (or oligos). Each known gene or “probe” occupies a particular “spot” on the chip, and varying levels of
DNA phenotyping is the science of predicting an organism’s observable physical or biochemical characteristics (phenotype) by using only genetic information from DNA sequencing or genotyping
Next-generation sequencing technologies have enabled a dramatic expansion of clinical genetic testing both for inherited conditions and diseases such as cancer. Accurate variant calling in NGS data is a critical step upon which virtually all downstream analysis and interpretation processes rely. Just as NGS technologies have evolved considerably over the past 10 years, so too have the software
In the field of genetics, an electropherogram is a plot of DNA fragment sizes, typically used for genotyping such as DNA sequencing. [3] The data is plotted with time, shown via base pairs (bps), on the x-axis and fluorescence intensity on the y-axis. Such plots are often achieved using an instrument such as an automated DNA sequencer paired
A DNA profile or fingerprint represents a small proportion of a person’s overall DNA, but it’s enough for two profiles to be compared to prove or disprove that they came from the same person (or from related persons). Therefore, DNA profiles are commonly used for DNA identification. A DNA profile can also be used in posthumous disputes
