At Koko Genetics, we know that discovering your dog's roots is not just a matter of curiosity; it is a fundamental tool for understanding their behaviour, anticipating their needs, and strengthening your bond. That is why we have decided to redefine the standard of canine genetics.
Today marks a turning point. We have not simply launched an update; we have replaced our algorithmic engine with a next-generation technological system that allows us to offer you the most profound, precise, and transparent analysis on the market.
The end of estimations: A segment-by-segment genetic map
Until now, standard technology looked at the dog's genome as a whole to calculate global percentages. Our new algorithm changes the rules of the game by performing a local, segment-by-segment analysis.
In other words, this analysis tracks your dog's genome millimetre by millimetre. It analyses their genetic code section by section, identifying the exact breed to which each small fragment of their DNA belongs. This way, the percentages you obtain are no longer a mathematical estimation; they are now calculated by adding those real genetic fragments together. It is a detailed map that provides unprecedented scientific solidity.
A biologically real family tree
Every dog inherits two copies of its genome: one from its father and one from its mother. With previous technologies, building the family tree consisted of distributing breed percentages through a mathematical calculation, without knowing which side each inheritance came from.
Our new system is capable of analysing the paternal line and the maternal line completely independently. Thanks to this, we infer from their genetic data which breeds predominate in the father's line and which in the mother's, covering up to 3 generations (parents, grandparents, and the 8 great-grandparents). Your dog finally has a biologically grounded family history.
Absolute transparency: The science of honesty
In genetics, sometimes the signal of a breed is unmistakable, and other times, in very complex crossbreeds with many generations of crossing, it is more subtle. We believe that the scientific excellence of a DNA test also lies in its honesty.
We have implemented a smart system that adapts the results to the quality of the genetic fingerprint:
- Clear fingerprints: You will see the complete breakdown of breeds with their exact percentages.
- Complex crossbreeds: When the signal does not allow a specific breed to be identified with complete certainty, our system does not "force" a result or resort to generic estimations. It will provide you with a precise result at the genetic family level (for example, "Herding dog group"). We prefer scientific honesty so that you always have the certainty that the information you are reading is real.
This same transparency is what allows us to understand fascinating Multi-Breed dogs; in fact, if your dog has such a complex lineage, we invite you to discover the science behind dogs with a mix of more than 30 breeds.
Proven precision of 96.8% and cleaner results
This technology is not only innovative in its approach, but relentless in its execution. Validated through the strictest scientific methods in the sector, the new Koko Genetics genetic engine has been validated with an exact precision of 96.8% in samples of known and verified genetic origin.
Furthermore, it intelligently adapts to each dog. If your dog is purebred, the system applies an advanced filter that eliminates genetic "background noise", delivering incredibly clean results. Conversely, if your companion is a unique mixed breed with multiple crosses, the algorithm "tunes its ear" to detect and preserve the smallest but real contributions of their amazing lineage.
Knowing your dog's origin has never reached this level of detail. Log into your Koko Genetics dashboard and rediscover your companion through the most advanced DNA technology.
