Is a Picture Worth 1,000 SNPs? Effects of User-Submitted Photographs on Ancestry Estimates from Direct-to-Consumer Canine Genetic Tests

2023-06-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> To evaluate whether the breed ancestry predictions of direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests for dogs are influenced by the user-provided photograph. <h4>Animals</h4> Twelve pet dogs considered purebred (i.e., registered with a breed organization) representing twelve different breeds. <h4>Methods</h4> Six buccal swabs per dog were collected by the owners and submitted to six DTC genetic testi...
