English Cocker Spaniel
English Cocker Spaniel genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 39 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.29. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the English Cocker Spaniel clusters consistently as English Cocker Spaniel (100% of the 39 dogs here). At the trait loci, FGF4_retrogene_CFA12 runs lower than average (0% here vs 80%); HMGA2 runs higher than the atlas average (100% here vs 56%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Low breed predictability score (0.28), individual dogs of this breed vary widely in genetics, suggesting active substructure or sub-population diversity.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Weimaraner, Irish Water Spaniel, Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, Toy Poodle, and Maltese.
