Section II, A 1 (ARL) g. Research Area 7: Chemical Sciences

Abstract

The specific objectives of the MWD Genomics Program are best describes as two phases. In Phase-I (the current study) we will gather information and data from the S&T community, handlers and breeders. In addition we will identify additional individuals/institutions able to contribute to the broader goals of Phase-II. Phase-I also will include the initiation of a MWD DNA bank and use of these to provide a preliminary assessment of breed ancestry of select MWDs. As Phase-I is conducted, the data obtained will be used to provide the foundations for Phase-II, a large scale experimental genomics initiative, using state of the art technologies to address key needs of the MWD Program and advance the overall goals of the Future Combat Canine Research Program (FCCRP).
