Papillon
Papillon genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 46 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.34. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Papillon clusters consistently as Papillon (100% of the 46 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3428), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, SMAD2 runs lower than average (23% here vs 74%); FGF4_retrogene_CFA12 runs lower than average (37% here vs 80%).
Ranks 84 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, in the upper quartile of genetic diversity. Mean heterozygosity is 0.343, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Low breed predictability score (0.23), individual dogs of this breed vary widely in genetics, suggesting active substructure or sub-population diversity.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Miniature Pinscher, Keeshond, and village dog Peru Puno.
