Shandong Xigou
Shandong Xigou genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 12 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.34. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.
In the atlas, the Shandong Xigou clusters consistently as Shandong Xigou (100% of the 12 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3354), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, IGF1 runs higher than the atlas average (88% here vs 55%). Dogs here sit in a relatively sparse region of the atlas, fewer close neighbors than typical.
Mean heterozygosity is 0.335, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. High breed predictability score (2.68), individual dogs of this breed reliably cluster together genetically. Only 12 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.
Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Shanxi Xigou, Liangzhou Dog, Mongolian Dog, village dog Nepal, and Qingchuan Hound.
