What the atlas says about Village Dog China

In the atlas, the village dog China clusters consistently as village dog China (100% of the 9 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3798), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, BMP3 runs lower than average (0% here vs 66%); STC2 runs lower than average (17% here vs 74%).

Mean heterozygosity is 0.380, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. High breed predictability score (2.43), individual dogs of this breed reliably cluster together genetically. Only 9 dogs of this breed in the atlas, every individual contributes outsized weight to the breed's computed profile.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Thai Ridgeback, village dog Armenia, village dog Tajikistan, village dog Kazakhstan, and village dog East Russia.
