Feral Dog Chernobyl
Feral Dog Chernobyl genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 153 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.36. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Feral Dog Chernobyl clusters consistently as Feral Dog Chernobyl (100% of the 153 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3627), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, MSRB3 runs lower than average (21% here vs 80%); BMP3 runs lower than average (12% here vs 66%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Ranks 95 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, in the upper quartile of genetic diversity. Mean heterozygosity is 0.363, notably high, indicates broad genetic background.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: village dog Crusade, village dog East Russia, Feral Dog Capeyork, village dog Ukraine, and Polish Lowland Sheepdog.
