Allele specific oligonucleotide — An Allele Specific Oligonucleotide (or ASO) is a short piece of synthetic DNA complementary to the sequence of a variable target DNA. It acts as a probe for the presence of the target in a Southern blot assay or, more commonly, in the simpler Dot … Wikipedia
SNP genotyping — is the measurement of genetic variations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) between members of a species. It is a form of genotyping, which is the measurement of more general genetic variation. SNPs are one of the most common types of… … Wikipedia
Molecular biology — (pronounced /məˈlɛkjʊlər .../) is the branch of biology that deals with the molecular basis of biological activity. This field overlaps with other areas of biology and chemistry, particularly genetics and biochemistry. Molecular biology… … Wikipedia
SNP array — In molecular biology and bioinformatics, a SNP array is a type of DNA microarray which is used to detect polymorphisms within a population. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), a variation at a single site in DNA, is the most frequent type of… … Wikipedia
Restriction fragment length polymorphism — A Restriction fragment length polymorphism (or RFLP, often pronounced as rif lip ) is a variation in the DNA sequence of a genome that can be detected by breaking the DNA into pieces with restriction enzymes and analyzing the size of the… … Wikipedia
Oligomer restriction — (abbreviated OR) is a procedure to detect an altered DNA sequence in a genome. A labeled oligonucleotide probe is hybridized to a target DNA, and then treated with a restriction enzyme. If the probe exactly matches the target, the restriction… … Wikipedia

Genotype — For a non technical introduction to the topic, see Introduction to genetics. Here the relation between genotype and phenotype is illustrated, using a Punnett square, for the character of petal colour in pea. The letters B and b represent genes… … Wikipedia
Molecular Inversion Probe — (MIP)[1] belongs to the class of Capture by Circularization molecular techniques [1] for performing genomic partitioning, a process through which one captures and enriches specific regions of the genome[2]. Probes used in this technique are… … Wikipedia
