A new study has proven that DNA was used to determine the genetic diversity of the English bulldog breed. Selection for desirable physical characteristics has resulted in artificial genetic bottlenecks, which results in a narrowing of the allele diversity. This can be seen in large areas of the genome that are nearly identical within a breed, but distinct from other breeds. … [Read more...] about Tierheim English Bulldog

In a new study, the genetic diversity of the English bulldog breed was measured using DNA , not pedigrees. Selection for desirable physical traits has resulted in artificial genetic bottlenecksthat can lead to a decrease in the allele diversity. This is evident in large portions of the genome that are nearly identical within a breed but distinct from other breeds. This is … [Read more...] about Tierheim Berlin English Bulldog

In a new study the genetic diversity of the English bulldog breed was analyzed by using DNA instead of pedigrees. Artificial genetic bottlenecks were created in order to select for desirable physical traits. This has resulted in a narrowing of allele diversity. This is evident in large areas of the genome that are almost identical within the breed, but distinct from those of … [Read more...] about Tie With Old English Bulldog On It

In a recent study, the genetic diversity of the English bulldog breed was determined using DNA , not pedigrees. Artificial genetic bottlenecks have been constructed in order to select for desirable physical characteristics. This has resulted in an increase in allele diversity. This is reflected in large areas of the genome that are nearly identical within the breed but vastly … [Read more...] about Tie With English Bulldog On It

A new study has shown that DNA can be used to measure genetic diversity in the English bulldog breed. Selection for desirable physical traits has led to artificial bottlenecks in genetics that can lead to a decrease in the allele diversity. This is evident in large parts of the genome that are almost identical within a breed, however, they are markedly different from other … [Read more...] about Thursday English Bulldog
