Canine Genetics Research
At the University of California, Davis, we are building a comprehensive DNA database for understanding dog genetics. We aim to collect samples from at least 50 dogs unrelated in the first generation from each breed, to establish a genetic profile for each breed at each genetic marker.

Dog Genome Project
A collaborative study with scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Oregon, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. It aims to produce a map of all the chromosomes in dogs, to find genes causing disease or controlling morphology and behavior.
