What the atlas says about Feral Dog Capeyork

In the atlas, the Feral Dog Capeyork clusters consistently as Feral Dog Capeyork (100% of the 130 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3403), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, BMP3 runs lower than average (14% here vs 66%); MSRB3 runs lower than average (28% here vs 80%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.

Ranks 82 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, in the upper quartile of genetic diversity. Mean heterozygosity is 0.340, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. High breed predictability score (1.34), individual dogs of this breed reliably cluster together genetically.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Feral Dog Chernobyl, village dog East Russia, village dog Crusade, village dog Tajikistan, and village dog Ukraine.
