Assortative mating and fragmentation within dog breeds.

BMC evolutionary biology - 28 Jan 2008

Björnerfeldt Susanne, Hailer Frank, Nord Maria, Vilà Carles

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: There are around 400 internationally recognized dog breeds in the world today, with a remarkable diversity in size, shape, color and behavior. Breeds are considered to be uniform groups with similar physical characteristics, shaped by selection rooted in human preferences. This has led to a large genetic difference between breeds and a large extent of linkage disequilibrium within breeds. These...
