About

The trusted data layer under animal genetic testing.

AnimalTrace turns everyday lab work into governed, verifiable genetic facts, and adds the breeding-genetics decision support most lab software never had.

Mission

Make animal genetic facts trustworthy by default.

Not a prettier report generator, but the durable, governed data layer beneath the reports, where genetic truth is versioned, consented, and verifiable.

Why now

The timing is not an accident.

Testing is going mainstream

Genotyping costs have fallen far enough that broad health, ancestry, and planning testing is now realistic for everyday animals.

Expectations have risen

Owners and breeders increasingly expect real insight, and data-protection norms make governed, consent-aware platforms a requirement, not a nicety.

Incumbents are aging

Much of the existing software is old and single-purpose, which creates room for an animal-first platform built for today.

Principles

What we won't compromise on.

Governed truth

Facts are stored separately from reports, versioned, and reproducible. The record stays trustworthy as the science improves.

Animal-first

Built from first principles for animals, with species added by configuration, never bent out of a human or single-species system.

Defensible by design

Audit, consent, and verifiable reports are primitives, so the platform earns trust structurally rather than by assertion.

Where we are

AnimalTrace is in active development and working with design partners. The core platform and genetics engine run today, and we're building toward the full network in the open with the labs and registries that use it.

Help shape the data layer.

If the mission resonates, whether you run a lab, a registry, a breeding program, or invest in this space, we'd like to talk.
