Punnett Squares and Predicting Litter Outcomes

Learn how to predict potential litter genetic health risks and coat color genotypes with Dr. Adam Boyko.

How can I use Punnett squares to predict litter outcomes?

Knowing the genotypes of two dogs that might be bred can provide you with a wealth of information.  In this video, Embark’s Chief Science Officer explains how to create Punnett squares and use them to determine the statistical probability of producing clear, carrier, and/or at-risk puppies from the mating of two dogs regardless of MOI of the variant as well as expected coat colors.
