Genetic Coefficient of Inbreeding

Genetic coefficient of inbreeding (COI) is the most accurate method for measuring inbreeding. Unlike pedigree based COI calculations, genetic COI evaluates the actual pieces of DNA in your dog to identify which proportion traces back to inbreeding. Embark’s genetic COI can detect inbreeding in far more past generations, as well as better inform on strategic breeding crosses than typically expected from pedigree-based calculations.
