For anyone that's adept in the science behind analyzing DNA, I'd like to hear your opinion about genotyping vs sequencing.
As I understand it, sequencing is supposed to read the entire genome, while genotyping only looks for clues for predetermined outcomes. The advantage of genotyping seems to be that it's cost effective. I understand that some of this might be marketing, or am I just being cynical in that regard? However, I'm led to believe that sequencing is the better method, if other DNA testing companies are planning to move in that direction when it gets cheaper. Can sequencing really give you a 100x more accurate analysis of your DNA?
