No. ASCA’s DNA database uses a unique set of genetic markers, developed by our lab. All genotypes in the ASCA database can be compared and used for an individual dog’s profile or for parentage verification. Other labs (not ASCA approved) use different markers and cannot be compared to profiles in our database.
