Canine 230K Consortium chip data originated from the drug detection dogs

Drug detection dogs play integral roles in society. However, the interplay between their behaviors and genetic characteristics underlying their performance remains uninvestigated. Herein, more than 120,000 genetic variants were evaluated in 326 German Shepherd or Labrador Retriever dogs to profile the genetic traits associated with various behavioral traits related to the successful training of drug detection dogs.

缉毒犬是社会公共安全保障体系中不可或缺的核心力量。然而，其行为与支撑作业表现的遗传特征之间的相互作用机制仍未得到深入探究。本研究针对326只德国牧羊犬（German Shepherd）与拉布拉多寻回犬（Labrador Retriever）的逾12万个遗传变异（genetic variant）展开评估，旨在剖析与缉毒犬成功训练相关的各类行为特征所关联的遗传性状。
