phenotype
There are several different genotypes of the hepatitis C virus and treatment success varies from 50 to 80 percent.
Research on the crop found that some genotypes are more resistant to aphids.
Is it possible to tell the genotype of an individual using routine blood tests?
Knowing of a correlation between genotype and phenotype can help predict the prognosis for a genetic disorder.

In the course of the project, we genotyped over 8,000 animals and measured a range of important traits such as reproductive efficiency and meat quality.
DNA was extracted from buccal (cheek) cells collected from 97 children and genotyped for particular alleles.
Through advances in genetics, genotyping the very large numbers of genetic markers that capture individual genetic variation has become possible.
Improved prediction of disease for patients will depend on being able to genotype a person's DNA for an affordable price.
Any sheep that have been genotyped and shown to be carrying at least one gene conferring resistance to the disease are deemed safe for human consumption.
In the future, you may be genotyped as part of your routine medical review.

Examples of genotype

genotype
This is being investigated for traits in rice such as grain width and protein contents where significant genotype by environment interaction has been detected.
The environments were considered as random variables while the genotypes were treated as fixed variables.
Most genotypes recovered in this study occurred only once (25 of 40 genotypes; 62.5%).
Thus, even if a homozygous hybrid genotype is fitter, it may be very unlikely to be established in the face of gene flow and recombination.
The precise expression of these changes was quite strongly influenced by the genotype of the host, presumably mediated through variation in levels of genetically-determined resistance.
The same is true for the frequency of missing marker genotypes : as this frequency grows, the precision and power of the analysis is reduced.
Table 3 shows the number of distinct genotypes that were observed among the six populations.
The proportion of each individual's genotype that originated from one of the other populations was estimated using the assignment tests.
The efficacy of the vaccine in providing protection from infection by heterologous genotypes is presently being researched.
In this context, the strategies of all of the players are genetically encoded (called genotype).
However, cultural adaptations that increase the fitness of a specific genotype in a specific environment may ultimately affect genetic evolution.
Small alterations in the genotype sometimes produce large changes in the phenotype; other large alterations in the genotype may produce no change at all.
Results showed that bats were less susceptible than mice to the genotype 5 viruses and that incubation periods were longer.
In families where parents rear their biological offspring there is a necessary correlation between the children's genotypes and their parent or sibling environment.
All these operators are applied to the evolving part of the agents, the genotype, while the phenotype contains non-evolving information.
