The chromosome complements (karyotypes) of animals display a great diversity in number
and morphology. Against this background, the genomes of all species are remarkably …

Purebred dogs are providing invaluable information about morphology, behaviour and
complex diseases, both of themselves and humans, by supplying tractable populations in …

Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is the oldest known somatic cell lineage. It is a
transmissible cancer that propagates naturally in dogs. We sequenced the genomes of two …

Strains of red fox (Vulpes vulpes) with markedly different behavioural phenotypes have been
developed in the famous long-term selective breeding programme known as the Russian …

The 156 breeds of registered dogs in the United States offer a unique opportunity to map
genes important in disease susceptibility, morphology, and behavior. Linkage disequilibrium …

The Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP) was launched in 1991 by a group of
population geneticists whose aim was to map genetic diversity in hundreds of human …

We present here the first fully integrated, comprehensive map of the canine genome,
incorporating detailed cytogenetic, radiation hybrid (RH), and meiotic information. We have …

The pathophysiological similarities shared by many forms of human and canine disease,
combined with the sophisticated genomic resources now available for the dog, have placed …

The purebred dog population consists of> 300 partially inbred genetic isolates or breeds.
Restriction of gene flow between breeds, together with strong selection for traits, has led to …

Cone degeneration (cd) is an autosomal recessive canine disease that occurs naturally in
the Alaskan Malamute and German Shorthaired Pointer breeds. It is phenotypically similar to …
