Amylase activity is associated with AMY2B copy numbers in dog: implications for dog domestication, diet and diabetes

High amylase activity in dogs is associated with a drastic increase in copy numbers of the gene coding for pancreatic amylase, AMY2B, that likely allowed dogs to thrive on a relatively starch-rich diet during early dog domestication. Although most dogs thus probably digest starch more efficiently th...
