Irish Setter
Irish Setter genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 23 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.28. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Irish Setter clusters consistently as Irish Setter (100% of the 23 dogs here). At the trait loci, SMOC2 runs lower than average (17% here vs 75%); HMGA2 runs higher than the atlas average (98% here vs 56%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Ranks 25 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, well into the upper quartile of population contraction. Low breed predictability score (0.29), individual dogs of this breed vary widely in genetics, suggesting active substructure or sub-population diversity. Only 23 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Miniature Poodle, Brittany, Bichon Frise, Xoloitzcuintli, and Otterhound.
