Village Dog Nepal genetic profile from the CanVAS Atlas. 12 dogs in the Atlas, heterozygosity 0.37. Nearest relatives, trait loci frequencies, cohort distribution.

What the atlas says about Village Dog Nepal

In the atlas, the village dog Nepal clusters consistently as village dog Nepal (100% of the 12 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3668), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, MSRB3 runs lower than average (42% here vs 80%); BMP3 runs higher than the atlas average (100% here vs 66%).

Mean heterozygosity is 0.367, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. High breed predictability score (2.49), individual dogs of this breed reliably cluster together genetically. Only 12 dogs of this breed in the atlas, modestly sampled.

Closest genetic neighbors in the atlas: Mongolian Dog, Liangzhou Dog, Shandong Xigou, Shanxi Xigou, and Taigan.
