• Resumen

  • The article focuses on research into the evolution of the dog using genetic sequencing of primitive dog breeds, gray wolf variants, and the golden jackal. It states researchers sequenced the genomes of the dingo and basenji, the golden jackal, and three regional wolf variants and compared the genomes to a more recent boxer breed. It reports the analysis overturned the hypothesis that the modern gray wolf was the ancestor of the dog and mentions gene flow from interbreeding after they diverged.
