Dingo Bigdesert

Dingo Bigdesert genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 19 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.07. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.

What the atlas says about Dingo Bigdesert

In the atlas, the Dingo Bigdesert clusters consistently as Dingo Bigdesert (100% of the 19 dogs here). Genetic diversity is low (mean heterozygosity 0.0676), suggesting a tightly-related local population. At the trait loci, RSPO2 runs lower than average (0% here vs 55%); BMP3 runs higher than the atlas average (100% here vs 66%).

Mean heterozygosity is 0.068, low even for a closed-stud breed. High breed predictability score (12.79), individual dogs of this breed reliably cluster together genetically. Only 19 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Dingo West, Dingo Captive, Dingo South, Dingo East, and Dingo Hybrid.
