Title
VetGen - Purebred Animal Genetic (DNA) Disease Testing and Profiling
Description
At VetGen, we believe knowledge is power. As the pioneer in canine genetic disease detection services, it is the mission of VetGen to improve the health of all purebred animals, by providing informative and valuable services to animal breeders, owners, and care providers.
In 1988, a team of Ph.D. molecular geneticists from Michigan State University's School of Veterinary Medicine (MSU) and University of Michigan's Department of Human Genetics (UM) came together to form the nucleus of a research effort to learn about canine genetic diseases. Through contact with key veterinary researchers, dog breeders, and through their personal experience as dog owners, the team quickly verified that there was indeed a significant genetic disease problem in purebred dogs.
Specific goals were established. In particular, a scientific strategy was formed to address this canine genetic problem. The plan they formed was to create an exhaustive body of canine genetic markers which would saturate the canine chromosome. It was theorized that these markers would be extremely useful in researching genetic diseases and in the development of disease detection tests. Through this strategy, the team intended to attack canine genetic diseases and thus enhance the health of purebred dogs.
