How this cat is connected to the trait

No recorded parent link joins this cat to a founder or to a tested animal. What the record rests on instead is no recorded parent at all, which is a gap in the sources and not a statement that the cat had none.

No parent is recorded for this cat in the register, so no genealogy can be drawn. That is a gap in the sources, not a statement that the cat had none. Any offspring the register holds are listed below.

What the prefix suggests

DBE-nad, on a prefix match only. No pedigree is held for this cat and no variant is adopted for it. Other cats of the Ermine Trace prefix in this register carry DBE-nad, on evidence graded genotyped at best. That is a prefix match and not an attribution: a prefix names a cattery, and a cattery can hold more than one population. It is recorded so that this cat appears on a list worth testing, and only a laboratory or a pedigree takes it off.

What it would be carrying

DBE-NAD. Exactly one variant below this cat is fixed by a DNA genotype or by a first-degree lineage genotype, through Dream Ermine Trace, Ermine Trace Nadeya, Metelitsa Ermine Trace, and the name travels back up the path the deduction came down. This names the variant and does not upgrade the carriage: what changed is which test to order.

What the pedigree implies

On the path above an obligate pair. Above Ermine Trace Nadeya

This is computed from the recorded parentage each time this site is built and is not typed into the register. It is a deduction from the trait being dominant, not a statement by any source, and it is not the same thing as the record's own status field. Only a laboratory settles it for an individual. The full list is on latent lines.

What is flagged

1. Esmeralda Ermine trace. The prefix entire, and it spans three breeds. Seventy-one animals: British shorthair, British longhair and scottish fold, one cattery. The scottish fold cats are the point: Ermine Trace Felicita Fantina, Henrietta, Jonathan, Osborn, Queen Qona, Quesadilla, Yashma, Zima and Zarya carry SFS or SFL codes, and Azia Ermine trace, BLH ns 12 33 68, and Unreal Zouwu Ermine trace, BLH ny 11 68, carry the dominant eye code into the British longhair. A dominant blue eye variant established in one breed reaches another by exactly this route, inside one cattery and without any outcross being recorded as such. The whole prefix is entered, not only the coded cats, so that the coded animals have a denominator

A flag is not an error. It marks a place where two sources say different things, or where an attribution cannot be made on the evidence held.

In the register

• Offspring recorded in this register; a cat may have others: Ermine Trace Kamelton

This directory is a working aid compiled from published charts, registry documents and breeder statements. It is not a register and it has no standing of any kind. The grade attaches to the animal, not to the line: a cat whose ancestor was genotyped is line-traced, not genotyped.
