Do you blanch at words such as allele, dominant, and codon? Do you think of microsatellites as small orbs circling the Earth? The time is coming when such words will be part of the everyday vernacular of dog breeders. The study of genetics has previously been the domain of specialists, but it is rapidly becoming part of the responsible breeder’s reper… text/html 2011-11-18T12:59:32-07:00 Bonnie Dalzell http://www.dogdimension.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:site_notice&rev=1321646372&do=diff Dedicated to the complex problem of breeding healthy dogs.

In the last 40 years the science of genetics has been greatly transformed by our increased knowledge of DNA, population genetics and the genetics of the immune system. In general this information has not made it to the average dog breeder while older models of breedi…
