Genomic ancestry, behavior, and the domestication of the dog

|
By Greger Larson, Elaine A. Ostrander, Sumit J. Bandekar, Ethan Dintzner
| PNAS Verified
It has been exactly 25 years since the first dog genetic maps were published and 20 years since the first dog genome sequence, a boxer, was released. The domestication of dogs was a landmark in human history, and the details of that process are key to understanding fundamental principles of evolution, domestication, and behavior. Dogs also provide the foundation for studies aimed at using canine phenotypes for studies of human health.

Genomic evidence for behavioral adaptation of herding dogs

|
By Hankyeol Jeong, Elaine A. Ostrander, Jaemin Kim
| Science Magazine Verified
Abstract Herding dogs exhibit a distinct constellation of behaviors marked by inherent instinct and motor skills that manipulate and guide livestock in response to instructive commands and cues. Comparison of the whole-genome sequences of herding and nonherding breeds reveals signatures of positive selection associated with pathways underlying social interaction and cognitive functions.
