  • Methods and apparatus for genotyping
    Patent number: 8032307
    Abstract: A method for establishing the genotype of the locus is provided in which a series of calibration samples are analysed, the results being one of three indication types, a window being defined relative to the indication for each of the indication types, unknown samples being similarly analysed with the window that they fall within being taken to determine the indication type for the unknown sample and hence the genotype of the relevant locus. The technique provides a robust, reliable and accurate method of genotyping which is suited to automation.
    Type: Grant

  • Analysis
    Publication number: 20060046263
    Abstract: A method for processing results, particularly from, the method comprising: obtaining from the results information concerning the single nucleotide polymorphisms implied for one or more loci, the information including identity information on the single nucleotide polymorphism or polymorphisms of a locus and a value related to the level detected for each identity; comparing each value with a first threshold and a second threshold, the comparison for the value or values for a locus determining the single nucleotide polymorphism identities considered to be possible for that locus.
