Morphology

genotyping = genotype (transparent) = genotype + ing

A straightforward gerund/nominalization from the verb 'genotype' meaning the process or action of genotyping.

Etymology

Genotyping comes from gene, a small part of DNA that is passed down in families, and type, meaning 'kind' or 'form'. So genotyping is the process of finding someone's 'type' of genes by checking their DNA to see their genetic makeup.
