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.

Can You I.D. Your Dog with DNA? - Get a tissue sample from an animal, extract the mitochondrial DNA, and then map the genes on that mtDNA molecule. If two animals have the same map, then they were related sometime in the past. Article by Ray Coppinger, Ph.D., summer 1991.
