In one aspect, the invention provides methods for determining the contributions of canid populations to a canid genome. The methods comprise the steps of: (a) obtaining the identity of one or both alleles in a test canid genome for each of a set of markers; and (b) determining the contributions of canid populations to the test canid genome by comparing the alleles in the test canid genome to a database comprising canid population profiles, wherein each canid population profile comprises genotype information for the set of markers in the canid populations.
A method for determining the contributions of canid populations to a canid genome, comprising:
The method of claim 4, wherein the microsatellite markers comprise at least 5 of the microsatellite markers set forth in Table 1.
A method for defining one or more canid populations, comprising:
A computer-readable medium comprising a data structure stored thereon for use in distinguishing canid populations, the data structure comprising:
A computer readable medium comprising stored thereon:
