Information about Dog Genome
The female boxer (named Tasha) dog genome (CanFam1.0) is released on July 2004 [1]. The genome of the domesticated dog, a close evolutionary relation to human, is a powerful new tool for understanding the human genome. Comparison of the dog with human and other mammals reveals key information about the structure and evolution of genes and genomes. The unique breeding history of dogs, with their extraordinary behavioral and physical diversity, offers the opportunity to find important genes underlying diseases shared between dogs and humans, such as cancer, diabetes, and epilepsy.
The lasted version (CanFam3.1 assembly) of the dog genome was produced in September 2011 by theBroad Instituteof MIT and Harvard.It consists of 39 chromosomes (1-38 and X) and 15 unplaced scaffolds. The currently version contains the following data:

Genome Re-sequencing Projects and Variation Identification
We identified the dog SNPs from those public available accessions using our computational pipeline and constructed this database.
