Genomics: The dog has its day
Hans Ellegren1
Abstract
Domestication and selective breeding have transformed wolves into the diversity of dogs we see today. The sequence of the genome of one breed adds to our understanding of mammalian biology and genome evolution.
Dogs have a special place in our society. Man's best friend is not just a valuable hunting partner, guard and herd manager — most of the world's estimated 400 million dogs1 are pets.
