What the atlas says about Village Dog Uganda

In the atlas, the village dog Uganda clusters consistently as village dog Uganda (100% of the 12 dogs here). Genetic diversity is high (mean heterozygosity 0.3698), reflecting either a mixed-breed cluster or breeds with broad genetic backgrounds. At the trait loci, LCORL runs lower than average (38% here vs 83%); BMP3 runs higher than the atlas average (100% here vs 66%).

Mean heterozygosity is 0.370, notably high, indicates broad genetic background. High breed predictability score (2.42), 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: village dog Namibia Northern, village dog Liberia Lofa, village dog Egypt Luxor, village dog Qatar, and Saluki.
