Welcome to the Dog Genome Resources guide. Following the designation of dog as a high-priority genome by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), the Whitehead Institute/MIT Center for Genome Research (WICGR), now the Broad Institute, announced their project to sequence the dog genome. The effort will generate 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.

    Boxer Genome Assembled
    A team of researchers led by the Broad Institute and including Agencourt Bioscience, CHORI, FHCRC, CNRS, and NCSU has sequenced the boxer genome at 7.6x coverage using a whole genome shotgun (WGS) strategy. The sequence is available in GenBank, EMBL, and DDBJ; by BLAST; and by FTP.
