BACKGROUND
The purpose of the National Beef Cattle
Evaluation Consortium (NBCEC) commercial test
validation is to independently verify associations between genetic
tests and traits as claimed by the commercial genotyping company
using phenotypes and DNA from
reference
cattle populations. The genotyping company requests the
validation of their claims and is responsible for genotyping DNA
samples provided by the NBCEC. The NBCEC then analyzes the genotypes
in conjunction with the relevant trait phenotype information to determine
whether there is an association between the results of the genetic
test and the phenotype for the claimed trait.
