Greyhound
Greyhound genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 45 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.27. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Greyhound clusters consistently as Greyhound (100% of the 45 dogs here). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Ranks 21 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, well into the upper quartile of population contraction.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Whippet, Belgian Tervuren, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Kelpie, and Xoloitzcuintli.
