GENOME SEQUENCING HIGHLIGHTS THE DYNAMIC EARLY HISTORY OF DOGS.

Genome sequencing highlights the dynamic early history of dogs.

To identify genetic changes underlying dog domestication and reconstruct their early evolutionary history, we generated high-quality genome sequences from three gray wolves, one from each of the three putative centers of dog domestication, two basal dog lineages (Basenji and Dingo) and a golden jackal as an outgroup.Analysis of these sequences supp
