Entity Assay

DescriptionA qualitative or quantitative analysis of a substance/sample to determine the components. A substance/DNA to be so analyzed using an experimental technique. Genotyping assay techniques also differ substantially. They differ in their technical complexity and in the type of raw data generated. Assay techniques range from single PCR amplification assays to various high throughput approaches. The type of raw data generated also varies, for example, from Sanger sequencing technique which generates one chromatogram read per sample, to next generation sequencing methods which generate large numbers of short reads, provided as fluorescent image files.
