- What you want to know: if you're interested in breeds and traits, a breed DNA test is enough; if you also want health information, look for one that analyses variants associated with inherited diseases and carrier status.
- Coverage: how many breeds and diseases the test analyses and whether the complete list is published.
- Scientific transparency: whether each result identifies the genetic variant analysed and provides the scientific references supporting it.
- Laboratory and quality: where the sample is analysed and which quality controls are applied.
- Privacy: where your data is stored, whether it is sold and whether participation in research is voluntary.
- What's included in the price: shipping, updates, data downloads and relative matching.
