Genome-wide association studies reveal neurological genes for dog herding, predation, temperament, and trainability traits
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) using dog breed standard values as phenotypic
measurements is an efficient way to identify genes associated with morphological and …

Neurodevelopmental scaling is a major driver of brain–behavior differences in temperament across dog breeds
Behavioral traits like aggression, anxiety, and trainability differ significantly across dog
breeds and are highly heritable. However, the neural bases of these differences are …

Genome scanning of behavioral selection in a canine olfactory detection breeding cohort
Research on working dogs is growing rapidly due to increasing global demand. Here we
report genome scanning of the risk of puppies being eliminated for behavioral reasons prior …

Genetic testing of dogs predicts problem behaviors in clinical and nonclinical samples
Background Very little is known about the etiology of personality and psychiatric disorders.
Because the core neurobiology of many such traits is evolutionarily conserved, dogs present …

Deciphering the genetic basis of behavioral traits in dogs: Observed-trait GWAS and latent-trait GWAS analysis reveal key genes and variants
Dogs exhibit remarkable phenotypic diversity, particularly in behavioral traits, making them
an excellent model for studying the genetic basis of complex behaviors. Behavioral traits …
