An '''electropherogram''' (also called '''electrophoretogram''', '''sequencing chromatogram''', '''EPG''', and '''e-gram''') is a record or chart produced when [[electrophoresis]] is used in an analytical technique, primarily in the fields of [[forensic biology]], [[molecular biology]], and [[biochemistry]].<ref>{{cite journal |pmid=24131055|pmc=4529286|year=2013|last1=Karabiber|first1=F|title=A Peak Alignment Algorithm with Novel Improvements in Application to Electropherogram Analysis|journal=Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology|volume=11|issue=5|pages=1350011|doi=10.1142/S021972001350011X}}</ref> The method plots data points that represent a specific time and [[fluorescence]] intensity at various wavelengths of light to represent a DNA profile.<ref name="Butler 2015">{{cite book | last1 = Butler | first1 = J.

<br />
In the field of genetics, an electropherogram is a plot of DNA fragment sizes, typically used for [[genotyping]] such as [[DNA sequencing]].<ref name = "Schwartz 1995">{{cite book | last1 = Schwartz | first1 = H. | last2 = Guttman | first2 = A. | date = 1995 | title = Separation of DNA by Capillary Electrophoresis | publisher = Beckman}}</ref> The data is plotted with time, shown via base pairs (bps), on the x-axis and fluorescence intensity on the y-axis. Such plots are often achieved using an instrument such as an automated [[DNA sequencer]] paired with capillary electrophoresis (CE). Such electropherograms may be used to determine DNA sequence genotypes, or genotypes that are based on the length of specific DNA fragments or number of short tandem repeats (STR) at a specific locus by comparing the sample to internal size standards and allelic ladder data using the same size standard.<ref name="Butler 2015"/>{{Page needed|date=November 2023}} These genotypes can be used for:<br />
