Analyzing the genotypes of dogs in the PWD population is the most important
aspect of the Georgie Project. By this we mean defining a set of 500
to 1000 DNA markers for each of the dogs in the population we are analyzing.
These genotypes, when combined with different phenotypes allow us to analyze
the genetics of each phenotype. Thus the genotyping of the population
provides an UMBRELLA under which a number of specific genetic projects can
be carried out.

Topography Overview
Using the technique that we have termed “Genetic Topography” we have created a map of genetic relatedness between each PWD and the founding ancestors of the breed. We have related each phenotype or disease to the breeding population. Often we shall represent the breeding population as a gray background to the phenotype or disease of interest.
