This project (formerly a joint project between researchers at the Animal Health Trust and Cambridge University) will be based at Cambridge University since the liquidation of the AHT in July 2020. Details of the project aims can be found in the following link:

Temporarily halted until Cathryn Mellersh and her team at the Genetics Research centre are ready to receive samples once again at Cambridge University. We have received confirmation that all samples previously banked at the AHT will be preserved for future use.
The AHT and the KC genetics centre have recently launched a research project called ‘Give a Dog a Genome’ (GDG) the aim is to sequence the entire genome (2.4 billion letters of DNA) of 50 dog breeds. The resulting information will increase the ability to identify mutations which cause inherited diseases.
It costs approximately £2000 to sequence a genome however the 50 breed clubs who agree to join the project will be asked to contribute £1000 as the GDG work will be part funded by the KC Charitable trust. The Flatcoated Retriever Society’s General Committee has agreed to support the participation of our breed in this initiative by making a donation to the research project.
