Greenland Sledge Dog

Greenland Sledge Dog genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 12 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.22. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.

What the atlas says about Greenland Sledge Dog

In the atlas, the Greenland Sledge Dog clusters consistently as Greenland Sledge Dog (100% of the 12 dogs here). At the trait loci, STC2 runs lower than average (0% here vs 74%); 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.

High breed predictability score (21.14), individual dogs of this breed reliably cluster together genetically. Only 12 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Alaskan Malamute, Siberian Husky, village dog Us Alaska, Chinook, and Samoyed.
