Still Waters Posted September 15 #1 Share Posted September 15 New research co-led by Cornell University examines thousands of years of Arctic sled dog ancestry and reveals when and how Siberian and Alaskan sled dogs' DNA mixed. The massive genomic survey of the Siberian husky has revealed that sled dogs descended from two distinct lineages of Arctic canids and originated in the northeastern Siberian Arctic generations earlier than previously thought. The study also showed that approximately half of all Siberian huskies bred for racing have introgression with European breeds. https://phys.org/news/2024-09-genomics-reveals-sled-dogs-siberian.html Related: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
