Researchers reporting on Nov. 24 say analysis of 2,700 genomes shows that most modern dog breeds retain traces of wolf ancestry from relatively recent interbreeding, with influences on scent genes and certain behavioral tendencies. Read On…
A genomic study published on Monday found that almost two-thirds of modern dog breeds have detectable wolf ancestry, with some wolf‑dog breeds carrying as much as 40 percent wolf DNA, researchers said. Read On…
A genetic study led by the American Museum of Natural History shows measurable wolf ancestry across numerous dog breeds, with levels ranging from 0.2% in chihuahuas to up to 40% in deliberate wolf–dog crosses. Read On…
