Dogs are diversified into a multitude of breeds, many with striking morphological and behavioral differences. Yet, all dogs are the same species, and their DNA differs only minutely. Comparison of the genomes of different dog breeds may therefore shed light on which genetic elements are responsible for the radically different developmental pathways of different dog breeds–a process that may represent a microcosm of species-level differentiation over evolutionary time.
