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.

缉毒犬在社会中发挥着不可或缺的核心作用。然而，其行为与决定工作表现的遗传特征之间的相互作用，迄今尚未得到研究。本研究对326只德国牧羊犬（German Shepherd）或拉布拉多寻回犬（Labrador Retriever）体内的12万余个遗传变异进行了分析，旨在梳理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。
