Editing Domestication of the cat (section)

=== Genetic Technologies ===
Scientists and veterinarians specifically have incorporated an important tool known as race and breed identification panels to learn more about the specific genetics that align with these dominating regions domesticated cat breeds originate from. While the primary lineages are listed above with their respective regions, this form of genetic technology made it possible to simplify and distinguish certain areas of these regions. For example, the Maine Coon breed was predominately from Western Europe, while the Siamese breed dominated in Southeast Asia. Tests showing the DNA markers that are used to distinguish genetic discrepancies in a forensic manner can also be purchased by an owner for individual use.

An abundance of accessible sources that incorporate breed identification panels can be utilized for personal use by breeders and owners to determine the genetic workup of a domesticated cat. Due to the highly known genetic distinction within the Felidae family, "this international cat parentage and identification panel has a power of exclusion comparable to panels used in other species, ranging from 90.08% to 99.79% across breeds and 99.47% to 99.87% in random-bred cat populations." With such a high power of exclusion, it is to say that the possibility of genetic similarities occurring within cat breeds are more uncommon than  others.
