What the atlas says about Village Dog Brazil

In the atlas, the village dog Brazil clusters consistently as village dog Brazil (100% of the 13 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3783), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, HMGA2 runs lower than average (19% here vs 56%).

Mean heterozygosity is 0.378, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. Low breed predictability score (0.26), individual dogs of this breed vary widely in genetics, suggesting active substructure or sub-population diversity. Only 13 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: village dog Peru Ica, village dog Peru Arequipa, village dog Dominican Republic, village dog Peru Cusco, and village dog Colombia.
