- - A high-quality draft genome sequence of the domestic dog has been completed, revealing its evolutionary significance and the diverse traits among various breeds.
- - The research includes a detailed map of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which helps understand genetic diversity within and among dog breeds.
- - This SNP map facilitates genome-wide association studies that can identify genes linked to diseases and traits, benefiting both human and canine health.
