Every animal has its own hereditary information, this hereditary information is stored in the animal’s DNA. This information is used to establish a DNA profile, a DNA code unique for each animal. A DNA profile does not provide information about genetic traits or disorders.
Because large variation is present in the DNA, it is almost not possible that two randomly selected individuals have identical DNA-profiles. Each individual will have his or her own DNA, which will differ on one or more points from other individuals. One exception on this are identical twins or clones, which have completely identical DNA profiles.
More information regarding DNA profiles and parentage verification can be found in the knowledgebase.
