Before starting Embark, the brothers worked on dog DNA research to determine the history of where and when dogs were first domesticated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Embark offers two kit options, one for DNA breed identification and one for breed identification + health information. Pet owners send in a cheek swab from their dog and get results in 3-5 weeks. The data and interpretation are available in the web browser with an account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also allows dog owners to share DNA data from their dog\u2019s test to be used for investigation. Along with its partners at Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, research from Embark has already helped explain what genes cause blue eyes in huskies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fcf0ef\"><tbody><tr><td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/whole-genome-sequencing\/\">Embark might sound like a good option for your pup.

After this, put the swab in the test tube and shake. Then you have to activate your account on embark.com and drop the package in the mail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"527\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Embark-2.jpg\" alt=\"Dog owner obtaining a saliva sample from their dog using the cheek pouch included in the kit\" class=\"wp-image-2658\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Embark-2.jpg 527w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Embark-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nebula.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Embark-2-16x9.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The procedure for collecting your dog&#8217;s saliva is simple and safe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs of the same breed will share a lot of overlap in their DNA. The company determines your dog&#8217;s makeup by comparing your dog\u2019s results to different purebred dogs. This method is more accurate than an assessment based merely on appearance and physical examination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn about your dog\u2019s breed from German shepherds to pit bulls. And it allows you to find breeds that are even a tiny percentage of your dog\u2019s ancestry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain dog breeds are more susceptible to some genetic diseases and problems. The Embark kit lets you pinpoint what conditions might be relevant to your dog. The health screening test identifies genetic health conditions from 16 areas, including blood, immune, eyes, skeletal, heart, kidney, bladder, brain, spinal cord, and many more. You also get information about your dog\u2019s genetic diversity and level of inbreeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-embark-report-review\"><strong>Embark Report Review<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can view test results for Embark\u2019s Chief Executive Dog, Harley, on the website. You can also look through many other sample dog reports posted on the website, including purebreds, mixed breeds, and designer crosses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading for a summary review of the Embark report sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-report-summary\">Report Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The summary includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A genetic breed results breakdown section<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Genetic stats<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other similar dogs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A breakdown by chromosome<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an exciting and fun way to see your dog\u2019s genetic makeup.
