Genotyping assays measure allelic differences, especially differences in Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), which are the differences in the DNA between individuals. The ATG shared resource can measure allelic differences in up to 100 SNPs using TaqMan real-time PCR assays. Alternatively, Affymetrix whole genome SNP arrays can be used to follow nearly 2 million SNPs across the whole genome. The latter assays are intended for mapping phenotypes to particular regions of the genome, experiments known as whole genome association studies.
Please contact the ATG staff for more information.
