Abstract excerpt
The Irish Wolfhound (IW) is a dog breed characterised by a complex demographic history and reduced population size. In this study, we combined multiple population genomic approaches to characterise the genetic structure of 96 dogs collected from 23 countries worldwide, genotyped using the Illumina CanineHD BeadChip. Analyses of effective population size (Ne), linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay, heterozygosity and...
