Key points to understand

Identity support

A profile can support kennel, breeder, or ownership records.

Different from breed ancestry

A DNA profile is not the same thing as a breed composition report.

Process accuracy matters

Labeling and participant details matter because this is a record-oriented service.

uDNA uses articles like this to slow the decision down in a useful way. The more clearly you understand the question you are trying to answer, the easier it becomes to choose the right product page and avoid ordering a vaguely related test.

That is especially important when the difference between a focused screen, a broader panel, and a record-oriented service can change what the report actually means.
