Overview
Cattle Genome Sequencing and Variant Calling is a comprehensive genetic test that analyzes the entire genome of a bovine at 30X coverage. This advanced service, offered by DNA Labs India, enables the identification of genetic variants associated with hereditary disorders, production traits, and overall health. By sequencing the complete DNA, our expert team can detect mutations that may lead to conditions such as Bovine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (BLAD), Bluetongue susceptibility, Congenital Muscular Dystrophy, Multifocal Fibrosarcoma, and Progressive Ataxia. The test provides invaluable insights for breeders, veterinarians, and livestock owners, facilitating early diagnosis, informed breeding decisions, and improved herd management. With a turnaround time of 8 weeks, our state-of-the-art facility ensures accurate and reliable results, supported by rigorous quality control and bioinformatics analysis. This test is essential for maintaining genetic health and productivity in cattle populations.

The primary purpose of Cattle Genome Sequencing and Variant Calling is to identify genetic mutations that cause inherited disorders in cattle. Early detection allows for timely intervention, management, and breeding decisions to prevent the spread of deleterious alleles. This test also aids in understanding the genetic basis of traits such as disease resistance, milk production, and growth, thereby supporting selective breeding programs and enhancing overall herd quality.

Frequently asked questions
What is Cattle Genome Sequencing and Variant Calling?
It is a comprehensive genetic test that sequences the entire genome of a cow at 30X coverage to identify genetic variants associated with inherited disorders and traits.
What is the cost of the test?
The test is currently offered at a discounted price of INR 225,000, but the displayed price is Rs 0 due to promotional offer. Please contact DNA Labs India for exact pricing.
What sample is required?
Extracted DNA from blood or tissue sample is required. The lab provides free home sample collection.
How long does it take to get results?
The turnaround time is 8 weeks from sample receipt.
What genetic disorders can this test detect?
It can detect mutations associated with Bovine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency, Bluetongue susceptibility, Congenital Muscular Dystrophy, Multifocal Fibrosarcoma, and Progressive Ataxia.
Is fasting required before sample collection?
No, fasting is not required.
Can this test be used for breeding decisions?
Yes, the results can help identify carriers and affected animals, aiding in selective breeding to prevent genetic disorders.
Is home sample collection available?
Yes, we offer free home sample collection for online bookings across India.
What is the coverage depth of sequencing?
The sequencing is performed at 30X coverage, ensuring high accuracy in variant detection.
Are the results confidential?
Yes, all results are kept confidential and shared only with the client.
What is the difference between this test and a targeted gene panel?
Whole genome sequencing covers the entire genome, including non-coding regions, while targeted panels only analyze specific genes. WGS can detect novel variants.
How should I interpret the results?
Results should be interpreted by a veterinarian or geneticist. The report includes information on pathogenic variants and carrier status.
