Figure 5. Average Pairwise Divergence of Microsatellite DNA in Wolves, Dogs, and CTVT.
The expected heterozygosity at microsatellite loci in different subsets of canids and CTVT was plotted. Non-CTVT data were derived from Parker et al. (2004). The Australian shepherd represents the most diverse defined breed and the miniature bull terrier the least diverse breed for microsatellite DNA.
