Example DoggieDNAPrint Results

What do the results look like when you order a kit? The section below provides you an example of a typical results report for the mythical dog "Fido". 

The results are displayed as follows:

  1. Genotypes - your dog’s genotypes at each of the 204 loci used to uncover your dog’s ancestry.
  2. Ancestral Population Results - The relationship to the four ancestral breed types
  3. 15-N Results - Score used to display closest breeds (coming soon! - your results will be provided as soon as this information comes online).

DOG Genotypes

Please see the table below for a full listing of your dog’s genotypes at each of the 204 unique SNP markers used by DNA Worldwide to establish your dog’s ancestry and breed information. Marker numbers are indicated in black and the genotypes are in green. Two letters are provided at each locus - one for each allele call:

Ancestral population results

Recently published studies (Parker et al., 2004) indicate that there are four main ancestral dog groups: 1) Wolf Like, 2) Herders, 3) Hunters, and 4) Mastiff.

The relationship of your dog to these distant parental breeds is indicated in the following table:

Four Population Comparison

A graphical display (bar plot) of the relative proportion of the four ancestral breeds in your dog and in a database of reference animals. The four ancestral breeds are:

  • Wolf-like in yellow
  • Herders in green
  • Hunters in red
  • Mastiff in blue

The representation of your dog can be seen at the right side of the diagram. Please note that for some of the reference animals, there are several individuals displayed per breed.

15-N Population Results

The 15-N population results is a series of 15 numbers, algorithmically derived from the 204 genotypes, that can be used to identify the breed of your dog. This is done by comparing your dog’s 15-N population results to a reference database of pure and known mixed breeds. As the database is periodically updated, you may be interested in searching the database from time to time to get more refined results. The searchable database is located on our web site, at the following link: Database Serach. Listed below are the 15-N Population Results from your dog, followed by the top ten best matches in the database.
