GENETIC DIVERSITY
Background:
With the completion of the draft sequence of the dog genome, the canine genome sequence is available to search for known markers and genes.
Project Goal:
We will be utilizing new advances in genotyping technology ("SNP chips") that will allow us to characterize tens of thousands to over 100,000 markers per dog in the form of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). * For this type of analysis we will need to collect blood. *
Project Status:
We have currently started running SNP microarrays to survey markers across the genome for the noise phobia project. We have also conducted a study to investigate the population substructure within Border Collies from different geographic origins. More about these results can be read here. |
