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.
