Akita
Akita genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 22 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.29. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Akita clusters consistently as Akita (100% of the 22 dogs here). At the trait loci, LCORL runs lower than average (7% here vs 83%); IGF1 runs higher than the atlas average (96% here vs 55%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Only 22 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Chinese Rural Dog, Chow Chow, Chinese Shar Pei, Qingchuan Hound, and Guangxi Hound.
