About us
Discover your dog more than fur deep with the most comprehensive DNA test on
the market. Designed by world leaders in dog genetics, in partnership with
Cornell University, the Embark DNA Test tells owners what breeds make up
their pets, how to prevent future possible health problems, and what
features and traits their pet might have. Help us end preventable disease in
dogs and improve the lives of pets and their people through genomics.
Embark is the only dog DNA test using a research-grade DNA microarray,
letting us give our customers the most accurate and comprehensive results on
the market. More importantly, it allows us to do ongoing research into the
genetics of dogs, which are a fantastic population for genetic discovery due
to selective breeding over time. Our research focuses on mapping new traits
and diseases, improving personalized veterinary medicine, and developing new
breeding programs to eliminate preventable diseases in pets.
Interested in joining? We’re looking for highly motivated and driven
employees who will help us stay on the cutting edge of creativity and
innovation in the fast-growing consumer genetics space.
