definiens: . HAPTM Typing Processes means the processes used by [COMPANY] to assign to an individual a pair of previously - derived HAPTM Markers or Haplotypes for a Gene of interest ; the processes including ( a ) selecting a set of informative polymorphic sites from the total number of sites in a set of previously derived HAPTM Markers or Haplotypes for that Gene using [COMPANY] 's proprietary software and Know - How, ( b ) genotyping a genomic DNA sample from an individual at the set of informative polymorphic sites using sequencing or other genotyping platforms installed at [COMPANY] ( including but not limited to MassARRA Y, TaqMan and Pyrosequencing ) and ( c ) assigning to the individual a pair of HAPTM Markers or Haplotypes from the genotype for informative polymorphi < ; : sites, where the set of informative polymorphic sites defines ( i ) the minimal number of polymorphic sites needed to deduce which of the previously - derived HAPTM Markers or Haplotypes is present in the individual or ( ii ) a desired level of genetic diversity in a patient cohort
