What the atlas says about Village Dog Armenia

In the atlas, the village dog Armenia clusters consistently as village dog Armenia (100% of the 25 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3831), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, MSRB3 runs lower than average (20% here vs 80%); BMP3 runs lower than average (18% here vs 66%). This is a densely populated region, many genetically similar dogs are sampled.

Ranks 105 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, among the most genetically diverse breeds in the atlas. Mean heterozygosity is 0.383, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Only 25 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: village dog Kazakhstan, village dog Crusade, village dog East Russia, village dog Ukraine, and village dog Tajikistan.
