Title:
COMPOSITIONS, METHODS, AND SYSTEMS FOR INFERRING CANINE BREEDS FOR GENETIC TRAITS AND VERIFYING PARENTAGE OF CANINE ANIMALS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005040350
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for managing companion animal subjects in order to maximize their individual health and potential performance and to maximize profits obtained in breeding and marketing the companion animal subjects. The methods and systems draw an inference of a phenotype for a genetic trait of a companion animal subject by determining the nucleotide occurrence of at least one companion animal SNP that is determined to be associated with the phenotype. The methods and systems described can be utilized to identify individual animals, determine or verify parentage of a single dog from any breed if the putative parent(s) are also available for testing, and are associated with, and predictive of, canine breeds. The inference is used in some aspects to diagnose a health condition or predisposition of a companion animal subject.
