Your Web site says that breed signatures are extremely similar and can be hard to differentiate. Who/what makes the final decision as to which breed is reported? Computer? Human? Combination?
All breed determinations are made solely by our proprietary computer algorithm. With each tested dog’s DNA, more than 7 million repetitive comparisons are made using a complex statistical algorithm. The algorithm scans the 321 genetic markers collected and looks for matches to breed signatures. The algorithm provides a marker by marker certainty score for each breed match. The computer selects the single best combination of breeds and relative amounts of breeds detected that best match the tested DNA sample from this comparison with our extensive database of purebred AKC dog breed signatures. Back to Top Many American Kennel Club (AKC) breeds are derived from other, older breeds. Would the WISDOM Panel™ MX sometimes mistakenly detect some of the originating breeds instead of the newer AKC recognized breed? Some breeds are relatively new, created from mixing other breeds together.
