Whole mitochondrial genome sequencing of Shiba Inu dogs

Shiba Inu dogs are known to be highly susceptible to canine atopic dermatitis (cAD). In this project, the whole mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) of Shiba Inu dogs was sequenced to evaluate its association with cAD as well as gut microbiota. Twenty healthy dogs, 10 dogs newly diagnosed with cAD, and 10 cAD dogs who were already on the medical treatment were sequenced. The project is related to PRJEB53048.
