Gr.Ch.Machobuck and Mr.Machobuck DNA Results are in

[evolutionkennels]

One word... AWESOME. I knew that Mr.Machobuck looked like his sire, acted, like him, speaks like him, and even hit the same spots with the same style. But I didn't expect the DNA to be so close. 7 out of the 10 Alleles are IDENTICAL, 17/20 individual are the same! See results: Ill be posting the color versions once the ADBA ships them. Patty Bullock sent me this one today telling me how remarkably close to a clone these results are.
FYI, the top DNA belongs to Gr.Ch.Machobuck and the bottom one belongs to Mr.Machobuck. Other results below
MY STUDS:
1. Mr.Machobuck has 7/10 identical Alleles
2. Super Machobuck has 4/10 identical Alleles
3. Machobear II has 5/10 identical Alleles

MY BITCHES
1. Machabear Prime has 7/10 Alleles identical
2. Miss Machobuck has 4/10 Alleles identical

I was a bit surprised.

How you get that done mate?

Nice! So, Mr. Machobuck x Machabear when!?
Gotta love Science

[evolutionkennels]

Exactly Alien.. if i bred blind just by pedigree, i'd breed Mr.Machobuck or Super Machobuck to Miss Machobuck whenever I want to preserve that blood. NOW THAT I KNOW BETTER, I'll breed MR.Macho to Machabear and get really close to getting clone like results. DNA TESTING TAKES THE GUESSWORK OUT OF THE EQUATION.

Pig mad, i sent cheek swabs to the lab from all my dogs, used a drop of semen from Machobuck.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! TECHNOLOGY IS BEAUTIFUL ISNT IT..IM PLANNING ON DOING THE SAME WITH A FAMILY OF HOUNDS IM RAISING...."DONT GIVE EVERYBODY THE SECRETS THO.." JUST PLAYING EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE HEED TO THIS CONCEPT.

BD FF AC EF DE FG CC BD CC AF MACHOBUCK
BD FF AC DF EE FG CC BD CC AB MR.MACHOBUCK
BB FF AC EF DE GH CC BB CC AF MACHABEAR PRIME

IF WE BREED MACHABEAR TO MR.MACHOBUCK 5/10 ALLELES ALREADY MATCH. THE FIRST AND FIFTH ARE VERY LIKELY, AND THE FOURTH, SIXTH, AND 10TH ARE A ROLL OF THE DICE.

Interesting stuff Evo

I have always done things like your original statement (you can just "see" the Machobuck in certain specimens) ... and I could just "see" the Poncho/Silverback in certain specimens too.

However, it is nice to be able to get actual statistical feedback documenting where the similarities and differences are.

Fascinating!

PS: I know you are studying genetics, do you have any idea what each of the "BD FF AC EF" refers to specifically?

[evolutionkennels]

I'd have to have more samples from different sons and daughters of his. It could be many factors. One of the differences is size, as mr.is only 44 pounds. Machabear is as big as Machobuck, so I'd have to see which ones are the same in Machabear and MR. And use deductive reasoning. The other one is color as machabear is yellow and Machobuck and mr.Machobuck are dark red. As for now I'm thinking the very first allele is color since both MR. And the original share that allele and Machabear does not. The last one may be size, as Machobuck and Machabear share it and MR. Does not. But those are just guesses, I need more samples off Machobuck offspring to be able to back those claims. The short answer is genotypes. The two letters are DNA markers. Each DNA marker or allele pairs contain an allele from each parent. If the offspring does not have at least one letter or marker from the sire at each allele pair then he is disqualified as the parent.
