Similar genomic proportions of copy number variation within gray wolves and modern dog breeds inferred from whole genome sequencing

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Whole genome re-sequencing data from dogs and wolves are now commonly used to study how natural and artificial selection have shaped the patterns of genetic diversity. Single nucleotide polymorphisms, microsatellites and variants in mitochondrial DNA have been interrogated for links to specific phenotypes or signals of domestication. However, copy number variation (CNV), despite its increasingly...
