About this portrait

This portrait was algorithmically built from this dog's genome: their genotype at 8 morphology loci (coat length, curl, color, ear set, body size, head shape, skull, furnishings) plus their position within the 14,478-dog atlas. The same dog always reproduces the same portrait. A different dog with different alleles gets a different portrait.

A2-Parsley-PSVA-CT_A2-Parsley-PSVA-CT

A2-Parsley-PSVA-CT_A2-Parsley-PSVA-CT is a research dog from the Hayward2016 cohort. They weren't given a breed label - they're one of the dogs that helps the atlas understand what falls between breeds.

About A2-Parsley-PSVA-CT_A2-Parsley-PSVA-CT
  • Predicted small by the six body-size genes the atlas reads (IGF1, HMGA2, SMAD2, LCORL, STC2, ADAMTS17).
  • Carries one copy of the FGF4 chondrodysplasia retrogene.
  • Wire-coat furnishings - the eyebrow + beard variant at RSPO2.

A2-Parsley-PSVA-CT_A2-Parsley-PSVA-CT's breed

A2-Parsley-PSVA-CT_A2-Parsley-PSVA-CT's genome decomposes mostly into Cairn Terrier, with additional weight on Labrador Retriever, and Golden Retriever.

Breed similarity from non-negative least squares against 91 breed centroids in PCA-256 space, corrected for atlas sample-size imbalance. Without correction, Goldens (22% of the atlas) leak into every dog's raw NNLS breakdown; with it, the bias falls out. Raw fractions stay in the dataset for re-derivation. Methodology.

  1. Cairn Terrier 88%
  2. Labrador Retriever 6%
  3. Golden Retriever 6%
