Jack Russell Terrier
Jack Russell Terrier genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 49 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.37. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Jack Russell Terrier clusters consistently as Jack Russell Terrier (100% of the 49 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.372), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, HMGA2 runs lower than average (0% here vs 56%); IGF1 runs higher than the atlas average (87% here vs 55%).
Ranks 100 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, among the most genetically diverse breeds in the atlas. Mean heterozygosity is 0.372, notably high, indicates broad genetic background.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Border Terrier, Rat Terrier, Australian Cattle Dog, Airedale Terrier, and Yorkshire Terrier.
