Whole genome analysis of breed-specific copy number variations in dogs.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Copy number variation (CNV), including genomic gains or losses of DNA segments ranging from kilobases to megabases, represents a major source of genetic diversity and can substantially alter gene dosage, regulation, and phenotype. Although CNVs have been catalogued across many dog breeds in prior large-scale efforts, breed-specific CNVs, defined as copy-number changes that are highly prevalent within...
