Genotyping

Precision insights for population genetics, trait mapping, and forensic science
At Decipher Genomics & Research, our genotyping workflows harness high-throughput analysis of SNPs and STRs to decode genetic variation with accuracy and efficiency. From large-scale population studies to personalized diagnostics and forensic profiling, we deliver actionable insights through robust, validated platforms.
Core Applications
- SNP Genotyping High-resolution detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms for association studies, pharmacogenomics, ancestry inference, and risk stratification.
- STR Analysis Short tandem repeat profiling for forensic identification, kinship studies, and genetic diversity assessments.
- Trait Mapping Genotype–phenotype correlation studies to uncover markers linked to physical, behavioural, or disease-related traits.
- Disease Predisposition Profiling Screening known variants associated with hereditary disorders and complex traits across populations.

Population Genetics
Study allele frequencies in isolated or hybrid populations
Side-by-Side Comparison: SNP vs. STR Genotyping
Feature | SNP Genotyping | STR Genotyping |
Marker Type | Single base change | Short DNA repeats |
Resolution | High—covers thousands to millions of loci | Moderate—dozens of loci |
Use Cases | Trait mapping, disease risk, ancestry, pharmacogenomics | Forensics, kinship analysis, population diversity |
Detection Platform | Microarray, NGS | Capillary electrophoresis, NGS |
Output | Genotype calls (AA, AT, TT) | Repeat numbers (e.g. 10, 12) |
Our Capabilities
- Platform options include microarray-based and NGS-based genotyping
- Compatibility with DNA from human, animal, and microbial sources
- ISO-compliant lab environment with rigorous QC and contamination control
- End-to-end service: DNA QC → Genotyping → Statistical analysis → Custom reports
Whether you’re mapping traits, validating markers, or identifying individuals – Decipher delivers data with precision and purpose.
