Norfolk Terrier
Norfolk Terrier genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 32 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.22. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Norfolk Terrier clusters consistently as Norfolk Terrier (100% of the 32 dogs here). At the trait loci, FGF4_retrogene_CFA18 runs lower than average (0% here vs 77%); HMGA2 runs lower than average (0% here vs 56%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Ranks 6 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, among the most genetically contracted breeds in the atlas.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Norwich Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Scottish Terrier, Cairn Terrier, and Australian Terrier.
