To investigate the ancestry and phylogenetic relationships of native Korean dog breeds, we analyzed the nucleotide variations in whole-genome sequences of 205 canid individuals. Our results revealed that different Korean dog breeds have genetic associations with various ancestral populations. We also found evidence of ancient admixture of European ancestry in East Asian dog breeds.
To study the ancestry and phylogenetic relationships of native Korean dog breeds to other Asian dog populations, we analyzed nucleotide variations in whole-genome sequences of 205 canid individuals. Sapsaree, Northern Chinese indigenous dog, and Tibetan Mastiff were largely related to West Eurasian ancestry. Jindo, Donggyeongi, Shiba, Southern Chinese indigenous (SCHI), Viet-namese indigenous dogs (VIET), and Indonesian indigenous dogs were related to Southeast and East Asian ancestry. Among East Asian dog breeds, Sapsaree presented the highest haplotype sharing with German Shepherds, indicating ancient admixture of European ancestry to modern East Asian dog breeds. SCHI showed greater haplotype sharing with New Guinea singing dogs, VIET, and Jindo than with other Asian breeds. The predicted divergence time of East Asian populations from their common ancestor was approximately 2,000 to 11,000 years ago. Our results expand understanding of the genetic history of dogs in the Korean peninsula to the Asian continent and Oceanic region.
