Who We Are
Independent Pet Genetics Expertise
GenomeTails is an animal genetics advisory company dedicated to making pet DNA information both understandable and actionable. As pets become increasingly cherished members of our families — and as genetic data becomes more accessible than ever to guide health, lifestyle, and breeding decisions — the need for independent genetic counselling has grown. GenomeTails was founded by geneticist Dr. Jonas Donner to meet that need.
We support and educate everyone considering DNA testing or already working with pet genetic data, covering all aspects of inherited diseases and traits, and population genetics. From reviewing genetic testing programs and interpreting complex reports to guiding sustainable breeding and long-term breed health strategies, GenomeTails bridges the gap between scientific knowledge and practical pet care.
We don’t sell genetic tests — we help you make sense of them.

I had questions about the value of a particular genetic test, and Jonas’ approachable, unbiased guidance made my decision so much easier.

We hired Jonas to give a lecture on genetic panel testing in dogs. His presentation was very practice-oriented and easy to understand. Many thanks for the clear and illustrative explanation of the topic!
