2 Supplementary Methods Animals. The Rhodesian Ridgebacks included in this study were derived from Scandinavian dog populations and the Thai Ridgebacks were derived from European and Thai dog populations. The collection of field material (whole blood and tissues) was performed in accordance with the animal ethics regulations of the Swedish National Board for Laboratory Animals and the Swedish Board of Agriculture. DS-affected Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies were euthanized and autopsied at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Histopathological confirmation was performed to ensure correct clinical diagnosis for all Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs while information regarding DS in the Thai Ridgebacks was obtained from owners. Genomic DNA from whole blood was extracted by standard methods. Total RNA from tissues was extracted by standard TRIzol protocol. Histology. The skin was cut strictly in the median plane from the ridge and from the corresponding region in the ridgeless dog. Tissues from the skin and dermoid sinus were fixated in 4% buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin according to standard procedures. Sections were cut at 5µm and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Digital light micrographs were taken using a Nikon Eclipse, E1000 microscope. Multiplex Ligation dependent Genome Amplification (MLGA). MLGA was essentially performed according to Isaksson et al. 1, with the following modifications: ng DNA was restriction digested for 1 h at 25 C using 4 U of restriction enzyme CviA II (New England Biolabs) in 10 µl NEB4 buffer (New England Biolabs) supplemented with 0.1 µg/µl BSA. The restriction enzyme was heat inactivated at 65 C for 20 min. Circularization of restriction fragments, exonuclease I treatment, PCR amplification, and fluorescent readout using Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100, were all performed as described 1. All measurements were done in duplicate or triplicate. 2

3 Breakpoint analysis. Breakpoint-specific PCR was performed by adding 4 µl (~ 15 ng) DNA to 21 µl of a PCR-mix containing 1.2 x PCR buffer (buffer 1 from Roche kit, cat. no ), 0.42 mm dntp, 0.36 µm each of P1 forward and reverse primers (Supplementary Table 1), and 1.9 U Platinum Taq polymerase (Invitrogen). PCR amplification was performed according to standard protocols. Sequencing was performed on a MegaBACE1000 and analysis was conducted with Sequencher software v (GeneCodes). The sequences were compared to the available CanFam2.0 genome sequence ( using BLAT. Sequence analysis of mitochondrial DNA. 582 bp of the control region (D-loop) was analysed. Buccal epithelial cell samples were collected using Whatman FTA-indicating cards according to the manufacturer s specifications. PCR and DNA sequence analysis were performed as described 2. Eleven Rhodesian Ridgebacks and eight Thai Ridgebacks (representing at least eight original African and eight Thai female lineages) were analysed and compared to 688 dogs from other breeds. The Rhodesian Ridgebacks were seven dogs from the USA representing seven female lines tracked back to African imports, three dogs from Sweden, and one from Germany. Fifty-two samples were sequenced for this study (Supplementary Table 2), one African Basenji (AY656737) was from GenBank, while 654 samples were from Savolainen et al. 2. Geographic origin of samples: Europe (n=207), Africa (n=69), SW Asia (n=90), East Asia (n=262), India (n=30), Siberia (n=24), and Arctic America (n=25); geographic origin alluding to the historical origin of a breed, even if sampled in another region. Real-time PCR. Dermis samples (dorsal neck) extracted from six Rhodesian Ridgebacks were included in the TaqMan analysis. Two individuals from each genotype were represented; homozygous ridged (R/R), heterozygous ridged (R/r), and homozygous ridgeless (r/r). In an attempt to identify FGF mrna expression, DS- and testis tissue from a four week 3

4 old Rhodesian Ridgeback were also analyzed. The two R/R and the two R/r individuals were adult dogs and the two r/r individuals were 2 weeks respectively 6 weeks old. cdna was synthesized with the iscript Select cdna Synthesis Kit (BIO RAD) using random primers (supplied) and purified with BD Chroma Spin-10 columns (BD Biosciences). Primers and probes (Supplementary Table 1) were designed with the Primer Express software v 1.5 (Applied Biosystems) and probes were labelled with FAM fluorophore as reporter dye. TaqMan 1000 Rxn Gold/Buffer A was used for master mix and reactions were run on a 7700 Sequence Detector (Applied Biosystems) according to supplier s instructions. All results were analyzed using the Sequence Detection System (SDS) software v The FGF19 primers were used to amplify genomic DNA to confirm their proper design. β-actin was used as control.

5 Supplementary Note Phylogenetic analysis. The genetic relationship between Rhodesian and Thai Ridgeback dogs was investigated by sequencing 582 bp of the mitochondrial DNA control region (Supplementary Fig. 2). The analysis did not reveal a close relationship between the two breeds. Except for haplotype A11, which occurs universally and is found in 15% of all dogs in the global population, there was no overlap between the two breeds. The Rhodesian Ridgebacks had haplotypes typical for European and African dogs whereas the Thai Ridgebacks had haplotypes typical for East Asia, five out of seven found exclusively in South and East Asia. Furthermore, resequencing of 2.4 kb just flanking the duplicated region on chromosome 18 revealed multiple sequence differences between Ridge haplotypes from Rhodesian and Thai Ridgebacks (Supplementary Table 3). This result is consistent with our finding that SNP_51,399,353, located at the proximal end of the duplicated region, was monomorphic among Thai Ridgebacks whereas 43 of 45 ridged Rhodesian Ridgebacks were heterozygous for the SNP. Nevertheless, the Ridge allele in the two breeds is most certainly of common origin since they share an identical duplication breakpoint, which does not contain any repetitive sequences expected to promote recombination events. Taken together these results demonstrate that the sharing of the same Ridge mutation between Rhodesian and Thai Ridgebacks is not due to a recent introgression from one breed to the other. Real-time PCR. Real-time PCR and cdna representing dermis (dorsal neck) samples from ridged and ridgeless Rhodesian Ridgebacks were used to study whether the duplication leads to altered mrna expression in post-natal tissue. We were unable to detect mrna expression of FGF3, 4 or 19 in postnatal tissue consistent with their embryonic expression. However, expression of ORAOV1 mrna was about two-fold higher in homozygous ridged dogs compared with ridgeless dogs, consistent with a chromosome duplication (Supplementary 5

6 Fig. 3). Weak expression of CCND1 was also detected, but no significant difference between genotypes was indicated. 6

The minimum spanning network was constructed using Arlequin (version 2.000) and shows haplotypes of the major clade A, in which all TR and all but two RR haplotypes fall. Haplotypes (open circles) and empty nodes (solid dots) are separated by one substitutional step. Haplotype names, without the prefix A, are given by the numbers in the circles. Left network: colored circles indicate haplotypes found in RR and/or in other dogs from the western part of the world (Europe, Africa and SW Asia; 362 dogs); green for haplotypes found in RR (Type A2 found in one RR, type A11 in six RR, type A24 in two RR) as well as other dogs. Right network: colored circles indicate haplotypes found in TR and/or in dogs from East Asia, India, Siberia, and Arctic America; 341 dogs); orange for haplotypes found in TR (Type A35 in two TR, one TR for each of the other haplotypes; haplotypes A6, A7 and A8 are unique to TR). Violet lines highlight East Asian-specific parts of the network. Two alternative links (two steps between haplotype 35 and 153, and three steps between haplotype 41 and 42) were not drawn in order to simplify the figure.
