Rhodesian Ridgeback
Rhodesian Ridgeback genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 19 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.28. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Rhodesian Ridgeback clusters consistently as Rhodesian Ridgeback (100% of the 19 dogs here). At the trait loci, LCORL runs lower than average (0% here vs 83%); HMGA2 runs higher than the atlas average (100% here vs 56%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Low breed predictability score (0.17), individual dogs of this breed vary widely in genetics, suggesting active substructure or sub-population diversity. Only 19 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Bouvier Des Flandres, Kuvasz, Labrador Retriever, Curly Coated Retriever, and Peruvian Inca Orchid.
