For many years, the complexity and fine details of DNA remained a mystery. That was until the turn of the 21st century, when the human genome was mapped in full for the very first time.

Since then, advances in genomics have transformed our understanding of health and disease, opening up amazing possibilities for both you and your pet.

Today, I’m joined by Dr Cathryn Mellersh, a leading canine geneticist and Head of the Canine Genetics Centre at the University of Cambridge ( https://www.canine-genetics.org.uk/ ). Together, we’ll explore how genetic testing works, how dogs stand to benefit from it, and why emerging genetic insights could transform canine health worldwide.
