Methodology

Frequency is measured at the typed-backbone 3:41004018 on chr3, 41.0 Mb (inside the gene body). Alleles G/A. Coordinates from ensembl symbol UU Cfam GSD 1.0. Per-breed frequencies are computed across all CanVAS dogs labelled with that breed (missing genotypes excluded). See methodology for the full pipeline.
