History and structure of the closed pedigreed population of Icelandic Sheepdogs.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE - 6 Aug 2009

Oliehoek Pieter A, Bijma Piter, van der Meijden Arie

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Dog breeds lose genetic diversity because of high selection pressure. Breeding policies aim to minimize kinship and therefore maintain genetic diversity. However, policies like mean kinship and optimal contributions might be impractical. Cluster analysis of kinship can elucidate the population structure, since this method divides the population in clusters of related individuals. Kinship-based...
