If your dog's Embark result are in, we want to add them to our repository!
It's how your dog's genomic data is shared with more research teams.
Though the DDP has partnered with Embark Veterinary, Inc. for DNA testing and Doberman-specific research, we are separate entities. The DDP collects your dog's data & information from you, and adds that info to a growing repository. We want to share your dog's information with researchers across the globe. So send us your dog's results.
It's simple and takes less than two minutes of your time.
Once we have your dog's data, we'll create a free DDP One-Page Summary Genetic Report as our Thank You for sharing.
Here's what our One-Page Summary Reports looks like.

Downloading your dog's Embark results is EASY and takes less than one minute.
Uploading them here is even faster.

Login to your Embark account ON YOUR COMPUTER (screenshots taken on your phone or tablet will not work).
1) On your dog's main page, simply scroll down until you see the blue text that says RAW DATA. Click on the blue text and a new screen will open. Scroll down a little and look for the Yellow button that says DOWNLOAD ZIP FILE. Click on that. 2) Scroll down a bit more and look for the Yellow button that says DOWNLOAD AS CSV. Click that. Take Two Screenshots. DO THIS ONLY ON YOUR COMPUTER -- NOT YOUR PHONE OR TABLET. 1) Scroll to the top of the page, and click on the little black back arrow to go back one page. 2) Click on TRAITS. Scroll down to Genetic Diversity. Click on the blue LEARN MORE text next to your dog's Genetic COI % number. Center the COI Bell curve in your screen and take a screenshot. 3) Scroll down a little bit more and you'll see the blue and yellow Karyogram. Take another screenshot. Yup. That's it. Now, send these four files to us. Simply upload these four files (two downloadeds and two screenshots) to the form below and hit send. That's it! You're done. Tip: This must be done on a computer. Try to save these with a good quality JPEG files; they're going onto your report, so the better quality your image is, the better it will look on your report. |
Sharing Agreement
Agreement and Consent to Unrestricted Sharing of Your Dogs' Records. When you choose "SUBMIT" in the box below, you agree to share your dogs' records, without restriction or reservation, with the Doberman Diversity Project, Inc. (hereinafter "DDP"). Carefully read the details provided below before you consent to such sharing.
What does my consent to share mean? It means you agree to permit the Doberman Diversity Project to collect, analyze and share (for the purpose of research and advancing the understanding of Doberman health, longevity, genetics, diversity, and breed sustainability), your dogs' test records which include, but are not limited to, DNA and health testing results, health records, cardiac records, general information records (including but not limited to call name, sex, country of birth, etc.), holter data, genomic information, demographic/regional, and other information collected by the DDP.
Anonymized Records Do Not Prevent Identification of Your Dogs. While your dogs' raw genomic data from Embark Veterinary will be anonymized before sharing, linking that data with supporting health records will negate the anonymous nature of that data. For example, if genomic data and health records for a given dog are shared with a science team from universities across the world, cardiac records of that dog will be linked/associated with that dog's raw genomic data. As a result, that linking will identify which dog is associated with the otherwise anonymized data.
Why would the DDP share your dog's records? The purpose of the DDP is to collect and share Doberman data to promote transparency of the same, and to drive research by sharing freely with other research teams focused on better understanding genetic disease in the Doberman breed, and how it does or does not relate to health and longevity.
Once your dogs' records are shared, it will not be possible to stop continued sharing. It is important for you to realize, BEFORE YOU CONSENT, that once the DDP shares your dogs' data with other research teams, we cannot retrieve it or prevent further sharing. If the DDP has shared your dogs' records with other researchers, you will be advised of such sharing, and you can directly contact the organization with whom your dogs' records have been shared. NOTE that it is VERY unlikely that you can stop the sharing of your dog's data once the DDP has shared it. Do not consent to the DDP's sharing of your dogs' records under this Agreement unless you agree that the DDP is not responsible, in any manner, for sharing that occurs after the DDP has shared your dogs' records.
DO NOT CONSENT TO THIS SHARING AGREEMENT UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE DDP MAY SHARE YOUR DOGS' DATA/RECORDS WITH OTHER RESEARCHERS AND THAT ONCE, SHARED, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO STOP CONTINUED SHARING THAT MAY OCCUR WITHOUT YOUR FURTHER CONSENT AND/OR AGREEMENT. CONSENT TO SHARE ONLY IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH, AND AGREE TO, THE UNRESTRICTED SHARING OF YOUR DOGS' RECORDS.
You can always ask for your dogs' records to be purged from the DDP's records. You may instruct the DDP to delete/destroy all records pertaining to your dogs. Note well, however, that if your dogs' data has already been shared, the cleansing of DDP records will not stop continued sharing of your dogs' data outside of the DDP. If at any time, you want your dogs' data and records deleted from the DDP's records, contact us at Robin.Loreth@DobermanDiversityProject.org and the requested purge will be completed within 48 hours.
This Agreement covers ALL of your dogs tested through the Doberman Diversity Project.
