SNP Genotyping
GENEWIZ SNP Genotyping service is a PCR and Sanger sequencing-based solution that is used to ramp up SNP screening assays and validate SNPs of interest with speed and accuracy.
Genotyping is a method used to determine the genetic makeup of an organism. This method identifies genetic variations by comparing an individual’s sequence against a wild-type reference sequence to analyze single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). SNPs are present in both the coding and non-coding regions of a gene and are one of the most common types of variants; they are represented as a single nucleotide mutation within a DNA sequence.

SNP Genotyping Analysis and Detection
SNP analysis and identification may help predict an individual’s response to certain drugs, susceptibility to environmental factors, and risk for developing diseases. Alternatively, SNPs can be used to track inheritance of disease genes within families and provide insight into SNP linkage.
Sanger sequencing-based SNP genotyping can be performed on a small subset of samples or as part of large-scale projects. Whether you are using genotyping as your primary approach for SNP analysis and detection, or to confirm next generation sequencing and microarray results, Azenta can help accelerate your project. Let the Sanger sequencing experts at Azenta support your SNP genotyping research objectives with speed, quality, and reliability.

Example: BRAF c.1799T>A (V600E) Mutation in Melanoma
Mutations in BRAF are largely linked to malignant melanomas. Mutations at BRAF V600 are common indicators for responsiveness to treatment for melanoma patients.
