The results are reported in categories “Should See Traits,” “May See Traits,” and “Slight Chance of Seeing Traits.” What do these represent? Percentages of certainty? How are these levels determined?
We have tried to present our results in a format that customers will understand and to provide a guide as to which breeds will most likely provide the most significant genetic influence to the dog and, therefore, it’s possible physical appearance and behavior. The stronger the breed signal detected, the greater proportion of a genome has been inherited, so the more likely it is that traits from that breed will be seen. However, we must avoid absolute certainties as it is possible that a breed present in significant amounts might have subtle visible affects on the dog’s phenotypic (genes that control appearance) traits due to the unique combinations with genes from other breeds present in the mix. Our computer algorithm’s raw data output actually provides a complex numerical score for each breed detected (how good the match to the breed was at each marker) and a prediction of the relative amount of each breed detected.
