Canine Genomic Project

The Canine Genome Project is a research initiative that maps the complete DNA sequence of dogs. By studying their genetic makeup, scientists can understand how different traits, health issues, and behaviors are inherited. This knowledge helps improve dog health, assist in breeding healthier dogs, and enhances understanding of genetic diseases common in both dogs and humans. Essentially, it's like creating a detailed blueprint of the dog’s biology to better care for and understand our canine companions.
