ICAR provides two services to ICAR members and the official launch is planned for the next monts
- A service for Parentage Analysis Accreditation for DNA Data Interpretation Centres, and the
- Genotype Exchange Parentage SNP Exchange (“GenoEx-PSE”) – a service for exchanging standardized sets of SNP for genotyped animals to facilitate parentage analysis activities
1. ICAR Parentage Analysis Accreditation for DNA Data Interpretation Centres
The following documents provide information about the ICAR Parentage Analysis Accreditation for DNA Data Interpretation Centres
- ICAR Accreditation as DNA Interpretation Centres
- Application form for ICAR Accreditation of DNA Centres
- Applicant’s Guide for the Parentage Analysis Accreditation for DNA Data Interpretation Centres
- ICAR Guidelines for Parentage Verification and Parentage Discovery based on SNP
