Obama's Dog Has Mutant Genes
Like about half of other Portugese water dogs, Bo possesses two mutant genes that contribute to the appearance of his coat of curly hair. What he lacks is a third mutant gene which would have given him the "furnishings," or a moustache and eyebrows, that are typically seen in dogs with wiry hair. Bo's lack of furnishings means that he has the ancestral form of that gene, matching the patterns found in wolves tiffany blue nikes, according to the research.
"I think he's a perfect example of a Portuguese water dog, and a Portuguese water dog is an chan luu." It's an outstanding choice for the first breed vanessa bruno pas cher," said Elaine A. Ted Kennedy, who owned several Portuguese water dogs himself.
"You don't expect Portuguese water dogs to have that," she said of the furnishings. "He looks like a very typical Portuguese water dog tiffany blue nikes."
And Ostrander acknowledged that, "We haven't tested Bo" among the 76 Portuguese water dogs looked at in the study toms shoes. "If the Obamas would like to contribute, we'd be more than happy to," she said vivienne westwood.
By studying dogs' coats -- a trait easily observed by the human eye -- researchers wanted to better understand how the genes affected the coats chan luu sale, leading, they hope, to more specific findings in the genome later on. While the coat gene was initially found in Portuguese water dogs ティファニー, researchers used genomes from 903 dogs in 80 different breeds to reach their overall conclusions.
Portuguese water dogs were chosen for the study because they have two distinct kinds of coats: some with curly hair, like Bo's, but others with long wavy hair. According to the American Kennel Club chan luu, there is no preference among breeders for one of the two coats.
"Because it does come in two coat types tiffany uk, that would pandora jewelry, obviously Microsoft office 2010 product key, be a great study breed," said Lisa Peterson, a spokeswoman for the American Kennel Club casque beats.
Breeders of Portuguese water dogs are also willing to work with researchers, so, "Bo is probably one of the better-understood breeds, in terms of genetics," said Neale Fretwell, chief geneticist at Gaithersburg, Md.-based Mars Veterinary, a division of Mars Inc., the confectionery and pet food manufacturer ergo baby carrier. "That's probably good news for Bo, because the genes of his brethren have been well studied true religion outlet online."
