The Koko Genetics family tree is a graphic and visual representation of your pet's genetic heritage, designed so that you can explore their ancestors—from their direct parents to their great-grandparents—along with the respective breeds that made up their lineage.
To understand how it works and how to interpret this functionality within the results of your DNA test, you must take into account the following key points:
-
Your pet is the protagonist: On our platform, the analyzed animal (which is the true owner of the account, although it kindly allows you to manage it) is placed at the top of the diagram. From it, the different branches descend that represent the history of their ancestors.
-
Advanced genomic analysis: By exhaustively studying your dog or cat's genome from their saliva sample, our algorithms are able to track and calculate the breeds present in their family, going down their lineage to their great-grandparents.
-
Presence of races versus percentages: Unlike your pet's main report, where we do break down their genetic makeup with exact percentages, this cannot be applied to their relatives. In the case of your ancestors, the tool will only establish which races were present in your genetics.
-
A scientific estimate: It is important to mention that this family tree is a predictive estimate based on DNA. By carrying out the analysis based solely and exclusively on your pet's biological sample, we obtain a very precise reflection of its heritage, but we cannot ensure with total and absolute certainty the exact composition of its ancestors as we do not have their individual samples.
With this service, you not only obtain clinical or compositional data on your dog or cat, but you open a fascinating window into their past to better understand where your faithful companion comes from.
