Boston Terrier
Boston Terrier genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 31 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.33. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Boston Terrier clusters consistently as Boston Terrier (100% of the 31 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3347), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, IGF1 runs higher than the atlas average (93% here vs 55%); BMP3 runs higher than the atlas average (100% here vs 66%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Mean heterozygosity is 0.335, notably high, indicates broad genetic background.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: French Bulldog, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Mastiff, Glen Of Imaal Terrier, and Cane Corso.
