We often get asked how we decide which diseases to investigate. Obviously we would love to investigate everything but this is just not possible. So the answer depends on a number of factors...
DNA Samples ~ Clinical Expertise ~ Breed Engagement ~
Genetics Expertise ~ Funding
In this article we go into more details about what specifically we need within each of these areas, but this is just the minimum to be able to undertake a new project.
We always welcome contact from any breed community that are concerned about a particular disease, and we can advise how to best collect samples, levels of samples needed and any relevant costs for a project to be undertaken.
