Human Genetics and the Canine System

This chapter discusses the history of canine genomics along with recent advances in resource development to highlight the utility of the canine system for mapping traits and finding mutations important in both human and companion animal science.

Evolutionary genomics of dog domestication

How a black coat color mutation that evolved in dogs has transformed North American gray wolf populations, providing a first example of a mutation that appeared under domestication and selectively swept through a wild relative is discussed.
