DNA Storage Project, Animal Health Trust, Great Britain
Animal Health Trust: Blood Sample Submission for Flat-Coated Retriever Research
We are pleased to let you know that the AHT are willing to store DNA from blood of Flat-Coated Retrievers for future investigations. At this time storage is a free service, in the same way that cancer tissue samples are used for research, so will the DNA samples. There is a possibility in the future that this will complement the cancer research done by Jane Dobson. As with tissue samples, the responsibility and cost of taking a sample are your, the owner. If your dog has had blood drawn at the national specialties or other Flat-Coat club events, your dog has already contributed DNA.
