What was the purpose of storing a dogs DNA sample after recording the dogs DNA profile?
The initial reason for storing blood samples was in the event that ISAG came up with a set of universal markers that were used by all labs for canine DNA parentage verification programs. Since the labs used by other registries (i.e. AKC, UKC) did not adopt these, ASCAs lab decided to stay the course with the markers that had been used successfully for a number of years for our breed.
