Jess: DLA and a ‘general’ homozygosity test like Optimal Selection are going to be necessary for preservation of genetic diversity as the dog broth continues to condense.
Christopher: It has the potential to be the biggest bang for your buck in DNA testing when the research begins to make associations between DLA alleles and pathologies. It’s also one of the primary reasons one might want to...
Jen Robinson: Curious, what’s your opinion of testing for homozygosity in the DLA regions of the genome?
