    ooh, i think genotypal might be what i was thinking of.

    Where phenotypal is a mixture of environmental and genetic expression , genotypal would be exclusively the part derived from genetics.

    Would genotypal typically include epigenetics as well or only the fixed DNA based parts?

      Close but not quite, genotype is the actual dna, phenotype is the observational characteristics.

      But yes, epigenetics would fall under phenotype essentially.
