The Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society introduces Helical as the future of pedigree recording — "Your DNA and Registry Data, Faster and Clearer Than Ever." What used to take weeks now takes days, with direct control over DNA management, parentage resolution, and member services.
Faster Parentage Resolution
Members can now submit multiple sire options with a single DNA test request. Once DNA is extracted, Helical compares them all at once — resolving in days what previously took weeks of back-and-forth.
Complete Visibility
Every animal linked to your account, real-time tracking of every DNA test, complete testing history, invoices, statements, and account balances — all accessible through the member portal.
DNA Analysis Brought In-House
Helical enables the Society to handle DNA profile analysis internally while Weatherbys Scientific handles laboratory extraction — giving direct control over genomic data and faster turnaround on complex parentage cases.
What's Coming Next
Streamlined registrations and transfers, electronic transfer confirmations, digital pedigree certificates, expanded DNA testing options including coat colour and recessive conditions, and advanced genomic tools as SNP technology evolves.
