Interview by : Adelle Keys and Sanna Abbasi, PhD
Basepaws is a pet genetics company whose goal is to make things easy for pet parents at home and streamline the pre-clinical diagnostic process for veterinarians in the clinic. Their screening tests rely on a painless oral swab sample and provide risk assessments for a variety of different conditions based on the analysis of the pet's genotype and oral microbiome. Having a painless and non-invasive tool, such as the PERFORMAgeneTM DNA collection kit is key to achieving this goal. In addition to the kit quality and reliability, its ability to preserve DNA across a wide range of temperatures and over long periods of time is extremely useful for samples shipped across the U.S. or internationally.

The project is called VIKING Genes because it studies people with ancestry from the Northern Isles of Scotland (Orkney and Shetland) and they have a lot of Viking or Norse ancestry.
