Pug
Pug genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 31 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.25. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Pug clusters consistently as Pug (100% of the 31 dogs here). At the trait loci, MSRB3 runs lower than average (2% here vs 80%); SMAD2 runs lower than average (0% here vs 74%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Ranks 16 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, well into the upper quartile of population contraction.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Havanese, Minature Poodle, Toy Poodle, Miniature Pinscher, and Dachshund.
Median lifespan is 11.5 years, slightly shorter than expected for the breed size (7.25 kg).
