Popis: This article discusses the concepts and methods underlying the present-day state of production-robust nucleic acid-based identity, parentage, and diagnostic tests in the equine. Given the rapid pace of progress, continuing developments are expected in equine nucleic acid-based diagnostic testing for infectious agents and for a small but significant number of genetic traits and diseases, primarily those that exhibit single-gene Mendelian inheritance. As marker discovery accelerates and testing and analysis methods become faster, more accurate, and less expensive, whole genome scanning will become economically feasible. Subsequent adoption of high-volume whole genome scanning of equines and other animal species would initiate a new revolution in veterinary medicine, a revolution that would greatly benefit both animals and humans.
