"Chromosome-length genome assembly and structural variations of the primal Basenji dog (Canis lupus familiaris) genome." <i>BMC Genomics,</i> 22, (2021) Springer Nature: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-021-07493-6.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/110290Basenjis are considered an ancient dog breed of central African origins that still live and hunt with tribesmen in the African Congo. Nicknamed the barkless dog, Basenjis possess unique phylogeny, geographical origins and traits, making their genome structure of great interest. The increasing number of available canid reference genomes allows us to examine the impact the choice of reference genome makes with regard to reference genome quality and breed relatedness.engThis article is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License, which permits use, sharing, adaptation, distribution and reproduction in any medium or format, as long as you give appropriate credit to the original author(s) and the source, provide a link to the Creative Commons licence, and indicate if changes were made.
