In an attempt to answer the question of whether genes that show high levels of variability across different species could also be useful in population - level evolutionary studies, scientists in Brazil, Singapore, and the United Kingdom teamed up to test the utility of numerous genes previously found to be useful in inferring relationships of cactus species.

If a mother has two different versions, or alleles, of a gene, conventional genetic testing can't work out which allele she passed on to her child, because her blood contains both.

Because there is more than one form of PRA, if there should happen to be a second form in the breed and your dog had the genes for that type it would be possible to test your dog «for PRA» using the PRCD test with clear results when the dog is actually affected — but with a different form of PRA.
