Dingo Captive

Dingo Captive genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 59 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.17. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.

What the atlas says about Dingo Captive

In the atlas, the Dingo Captive clusters consistently as Dingo Captive (100% of the 59 dogs here). Genetic diversity is low (mean heterozygosity 0.1666), suggesting a tightly-related local population. At the trait loci, RSPO2 runs lower than average (2% here vs 55%); STC2 runs lower than average (22% here vs 74%). This is a densely populated region, many genetically similar dogs are sampled.

Ranks 2 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, among the most genetically contracted breeds in the atlas. Mean heterozygosity is 0.167, low even for a closed-stud breed. High breed predictability score (1.94), individual dogs of this breed reliably cluster together genetically.

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