AI portrait
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.

IWOF_IrW_LU1218

IWOF_IrW_LU1218 is a Irish Wolfhound from the Spatola research cohort. One of 14,478 dogs who built the atlas.

About IWOF_IrW_LU1218

IWOF_IrW_LU1218 is a strong genetic outlier within the Irish Wolfhound cluster - among the most distinctive examples of their breed.

  • Predicted giant by the six body-size genes the atlas reads (IGF1, HMGA2, SMAD2, LCORL, STC2, ADAMTS17).
  • Carries both copies of the FGF4 chondrodysplasia retrogene - the short-leg variant in Dachshund, Pembroke Corgi, Basset Hound.

IWOF_IrW_LU1218's breed

IWOF_IrW_LU1218 sits in the Polish Lowland Sheepdog cluster, with genome overlap to Whippet, Great Dane, and Greyhound - sister breeds nearby in the atlas.

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. Polish Lowland Sheepdog 32%
  2. Whippet 24%
  3. Great Dane 14%
  4. Greyhound 8%
  5. Borzoi 8%
