Liangzhou Dog
Liangzhou Dog genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 12 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.34. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Liangzhou Dog clusters consistently as Liangzhou Dog (100% of the 12 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3382), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, FGF4_retrogene_CFA18 runs lower than average (25% here vs 77%); MSRB3 runs lower than average (42% here vs 80%).
Mean heterozygosity is 0.338, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. High breed predictability score (2.18), 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: Shandong Xigou, Shanxi Xigou, Mongolian Dog, village dog Nepal, and Qingchuan Hound.
