Basset Hound
Basset Hound genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 34 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.30. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Basset Hound clusters consistently as Basset Hound (100% of the 34 dogs here). At the trait loci, FGF4_retrogene_CFA18 runs lower than average (3% here vs 77%); LCORL runs lower than average (13% here vs 83%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Low breed predictability score (0.26), individual dogs of this breed vary widely in genetics, suggesting active substructure or sub-population diversity.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Bloodhound, Dachshund, Miniature Dachshund, Beagle, and village dog Portugal.
