Alaskan Malamute
Alaskan Malamute genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 23 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.31. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Alaskan Malamute clusters consistently as Alaskan Malamute (100% of the 23 dogs here). At the trait loci, STC2 runs lower than average (22% here vs 74%); HMGA2 runs higher than the atlas average (87% here vs 56%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
High breed predictability score (1.73), individual dogs of this breed reliably cluster together genetically. Only 23 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Siberian Husky, village dog Us Alaska, Greenland Sledge Dog, Samoyed, and Chinook.
