What the atlas says about Peruvian Inca Orchid

In the atlas, the Peruvian Inca Orchid clusters consistently as Peruvian Inca Orchid (100% of the 23 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3599), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, MSRB3 runs lower than average (46% here vs 80%); HMGA2 runs lower than average (22% here vs 56%). This is a densely populated region, many genetically similar dogs are sampled.

Ranks 93 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, in the upper quartile of genetic diversity. Mean heterozygosity is 0.360, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Low breed predictability score (0.12), 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: Kuvasz, village dog Nz South, village dog Nz North, Chinese Crested, and Foxhound.
