What the atlas says about Village Dog Mongolia

In the atlas, the village dog Mongolia clusters consistently as village dog Mongolia (100% of the 40 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, SMOC2 runs lower than average (40% here vs 75%).

Ranks 103 of 107 on the bottleneck severity scale, among the most genetically diverse breeds in the atlas. Mean heterozygosity is 0.380, notably high, indicates broad genetic background.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: village dog Iraq, Japanese Chin, Finnish Spitz, American Eskimo Dog, and Belgian Malinois.
