Version: 1.0
Reviewed: 2026-08-12
Topic: Use selective-breeding and genetics claims carefully

Situation: You are selecting a line or evaluating a genetic or breed-true claim.
Observe first: Separate phenotype, pedigree, controlled cross, family structure, marker, candidate gene, population and validation cohort.
First action: Define the trait and scoring method, preserve source-separated families and test offspring across complete generations.
Record next: Record parent identity, cross direction, family, environment, scorer method, every offspring class, missing calls and exclusions.
Stop boundary: Do not turn expression, association, one marker or line name into a causal genotype, purity certificate or guaranteed inheritance pattern.
