Welcome to the Dog Genome Resources guide. The dog genome was sequenced by the Whitehead Institute/MIT Center for Genome Research (WICGR), now the Broad Institute. The genome sequence will be an important resource for gene discovery, affecting canine health and biology and the growing field of comparative genomics. This page offers a gateway to dog genome resources at NCBI and beyond. We encourage your suggestions.

Sequencing the dog genome will facilitate the identification of genes that may provide explanations for the vast range of mammalian variation and help us to better understand the genetic basis of diseases common to both human and dog. The breed chosen for sequencing is the boxer, which is one of the breeds with the least variation in its genome.

    The second version of the dog genome assembly (build 2.1) is available in Map Viewer. Take a moment to BLAST your favorite gene sequence against the genome and explore the maps available for viewing. Learn more about the Gnomon gene prediction program and the resulting models available in Map Viewer.
