Borzoi
Borzoi genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 22 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.32. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Borzoi clusters consistently as Borzoi (100% of the 22 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3227), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, STC2 runs lower than average (27% here vs 74%); BMP3 runs lower than average (25% here vs 66%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Mean heterozygosity is 0.323, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Only 22 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Italian Greyhound, Whippet, Great Dane, Belgian Sheepdog, and mixed breed.
