Thai Ridgeback

Thai Ridgeback genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 21 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.37. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.

What the atlas says about Thai Ridgeback

In the atlas, the Thai Ridgeback clusters consistently as Thai Ridgeback (100% of the 21 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3681), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, BMP3 runs lower than average (2% here vs 66%); MSRB3 runs lower than average (26% here vs 80%).

Ranks 96 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, in the upper quartile of genetic diversity. Mean heterozygosity is 0.368, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. High breed predictability score (1.42), individual dogs of this breed reliably cluster together genetically. Only 21 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: village dog China, village dog Armenia, village dog Kazakhstan, village dog Slavic, and village dog East Russia.
