A phenotype is an observable characteristic or trait of an organism, like the color of a flower or the shape of an ear.
A genotype is a specific variation of a gene that encodes a phenotype, such a gene that encodes eye color or height. Genes are found on chromosomes and encoded in patterns on the DNA molecule. That DNA pattern is copied and used to make proteins by a suite of RNA molecules in the cell. In this way, changes in the DNA pattern that make up our specific genotype affect the proteins that cells make and result in an observable phenotype, like blue eyes or short stature.
A cyberinfrastructure is a combination of software platforms, tools, and datasets; storage and compute hardware; and people who provide training and support
