Oct 2, 2019 · The vast phenotypic diversity and simplified genetic architecture of dog breeds has led to major advances in our understanding of complex traits relevant to morphology and disease. Our findings suggest that dog breeds also provide a powerful and highly tractable model for questions about the evolution and genetic basis of behavioural traits.

Aug 1, 2011 · Multiple DNA analyses paint a consistent picture of canine genetic diversity. Even after the formation of breeds, restrictive breeding practices in breed registries and geographical isolation, breeds have retained (on average) 87% of their original diversity level.

May 19, 2004 · The most thorough DNA analysis yet of purebred dogs suggests that canine breeds, typically defined by physical features and family history, can also be discerned genetically with great...
Here, we review the unique characteristics of dog breeds and their population structure, classification based on skeletal phenotypes, and how genetic approaches can be used to link specific genes to their morphological variation.
Dec 25, 2016 · A new study in press (Dreger et al 2016) reports heterozygosity (inbreeding) for 112 dog breeds, determined several different ways. They computed inbreeding from pedigree data for 5, 10, and all generations in the database.
