Herding dogs' genetic pawprint - Expert Reaction - Science Media Centre
New overseas research reports genomic evidence behind herding dogs’ unique blend of smarts, instinct, and fine motor skills compared to other good boys. Research published in Science Advances looked at whole-genome sequences of 12 herding breeds, such as border collies and German shepherds, and compared them to those of 91 non-herding breeds. In border collies, the authors identified adaptations in eight genes tied to memory retention, motor lea…
