DNA - What to do?

IN WorldFengur two ways are possible to register a DNA result. The simplest way is to register the proof of parentage based on an statement from the laboratory. There you only register that nothing refutes the registered parentage with information on the person who signed the statement. The "new" way is to register the whole DNA result from the laboratory (markers etc.) based on the ISAG standard. This is a much better way which will be useful in the future when new DNA results will be added to the database. However only Iceland and Norway have made the necessary preparation which is mainly to have an agreement or understanding between the laboratory, the FEIF association in the country in question and WorldFengur.
To fulfill the requirements in the FIZO rules one of these two ways can be followed.

It is important that each FEIF association explains for breeders how to take DNA sample and which laboratories should be used for analysis.
