DETERMINISTIC FINITE AUTOMATA FOR BRACHYCEPHALY RISK ESTIMATION IN DOG BREEDING.

Afflictions, or predispositions to have particular disorders in an animal are often caused by specific genes. However, some of these conditions could be avoided using genetic alterations during the breeding process. A good example is brachycephaly in dogs, which, in many cases, causes dyspnoea. In this research paper, we focused on using Finite Deterministic Automata for pattern recognition in dog genes in order to improve the breathing problems of French bulldogs, and other brachycephalic breeds.
