Too many pet parents have known the heartbreaking loss of a beloved pet to cancer. As part of our commitment to helping all pets live healthier, happier, and longer lives, Basepaws is studying the genetic and oral microbiome factors associated with certain types of cancer. We welcome your participation in this research, which could inform the development of new screening tests for earlier detection of cancer in pets.

Our world here at Basepaws revolves around your cat's DNA. In order to analyze feline genes, we must first decode the information within them. Many labs still rely on microarray techniques for genotyping studies due to a number of advantages. We, however, employ data-rich DNA sequencing in all aspects of our work.
