Genome sequencing of 2000 canids by the Dog10K consortium advances the understanding of demography, genome function and architecture (vol 24, 187, 2023)

Summary: The international Dog10K project aims to sequence and analyze thousands of canine genomes, and has discovered a high percentage of genomic variation across 239 sampled breeds. The project has also identified retrogene insertions from 926 parent genes. These findings are crucial for studying domestication, behavior, morphology, disease susceptibility, and genome architecture and function.
