Dingo East

Dingo East genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 104 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.17. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.

What the atlas says about Dingo East

In the atlas, the Dingo East clusters consistently as Dingo East (100% of the 104 dogs here). Genetic diversity is low (mean heterozygosity 0.1718), suggesting a tightly-related local population. At the trait loci, STC2 runs lower than average (26% here vs 74%); RSPO2 runs lower than average (9% here vs 55%). This is a densely populated region, many genetically similar dogs are sampled.

Ranks 3 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, among the most genetically contracted breeds in the atlas. Mean heterozygosity is 0.172, low even for a closed-stud breed. High breed predictability score (2.94), individual dogs of this breed reliably cluster together genetically.

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