Basepaws, a leading player in the realm of feline DNA testing and genetics, is venturing into the canine market with the most extensive DNA test for dogs, revolutionizing the landscape of genetic health testing. The Basepaws Breed + Health Dog DNA Test empowers pet owners to transition from reactive to proactive care, offering a hassle-free swabbing process and delivering results that are easily accessible on mobile devices, ensuring a user-friendly experience.
This quick and user-friendly oral swab test equips pet parents with invaluable insights into their dog's genetic makeup. These insights encompass more than 280 genetic markers associated with hereditary conditions in dogs, surpassing the number of genetic markers provided by any other pet DNA test. Furthermore, Basepaws offers a comprehensive breakdown of breed similarity by comparing the dog's genome to an extensive database of over 200 canine breeds. It also provides details on over 30 distinct genetic trait markers that influence their unique physical characteristics, including coat length, texture, color, pattern, as well as body size, shape, and structure.
Basepaws distinguishes itself as the pioneer in pet genetics by utilizing Illumina Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. This involves conducting in-house whole genome sequencing (WGS) and furnishing data on approximately 2.5 billion nucleotide bases for each analyzed canine genome. NGS has found applications in various realms of biological research, ranging from studying COVID-19 patients to unraveling the mutational landscapes of cancer. Now, this cutting-edge technology is at your disposal, providing comprehensive genetic insights into your pet's health and breed through Basepaws.
