Abstract excerpt
There are over 350 genetically distinct breeds of domestic dog that present considerable variation in morphology, physiology, and disease susceptibility. The genome sequence of the domestic dog was assembled and released in 2005, providing an estimated 20,000 protein-coding genes that are a great asset to the scientific community that uses the dog system as a genetic biomedical model and for comparative and...
