Rat Terrier
Rat Terrier genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 9 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.38. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Rat Terrier clusters consistently as Rat Terrier (100% of the 9 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3807), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, SMAD2 runs lower than average (11% here vs 74%); IGF1 runs higher than the atlas average (100% here vs 55%).
Mean heterozygosity is 0.381, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Only 9 dogs of this breed in the atlas, every individual contributes outsized weight to the breed's computed profile.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: village dog Costa Rica, Papillon, village dog Fiji Kadavu, village dog Fiji Viti Levu, and village dog Colombia.
