  • The Researchers have found the first evidence of wolf-dog hybridisation in the country.
  • The hair samples were used to extract DNA and processed for segregating, identifying, pressing and following other scientific protocols.
  • The results provide the first genetic evidence of one F2 hybrid (offspring from an F1 hybrid) and the other individual could be a complex hybrid between dogs and wolves.
  • These results reiterate the power of next-generation sequencing (NGS) for non-invasive samples as an efficient tool for detecting hybrids.
