~~A few of the DNA studies confirming the dingo's genetic heritage, as a descendant of Asian domestic dogs.~~


A detailed picture of the origin of the Australian dingo, obtained from the study of mitochondrial DNA. Savolainen, 2004.
http://www.pnas.org/content/101/33/12387.full
"To determine the origin and time of arrival to Australia of the dingo, 582 bp of the mtDNA control region were analyzed in 211 Australian dingoes sampled in all states of Australia, 676 dogs from all continents, and 38 Eurasian wolves, and 263 bp were analyzed in 19 pre-European archaeological dog samples from Polynesia. We found that all mtDNA sequences among dingoes were either identical to or differing by a single substitution from a single mtDNA type, A29. This mtDNA type, which was present in >50% of the dingoes, was found also among domestic dogs, but only in dogs from East Asia and Arctic America, whereas 18 of the 19 other types were unique to dingoes. The mean genetic distance to A29 among the dingo mtDNA sequences indicates an origin ≈5,000 years ago. From these results a detailed scenario of the origin and history of the dingo can be derived: dingoes have an origin from domesticated dogs coming from East Asia..."

Narrow genetic basis for the Australian dingo confirmed through analysis of paternal ancestry. Savolainen, 2012.

"Studies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)imply that the current dingo population was founded by a small population of already tamed dogs from Southeast Asia. However, the maternal genetic data might give a unilateral picture, and the gene pool has yet to be screened for paternal ancestry. We sequenced 14,437 bp of theY-chromosome (Y-chr) from two dingoes and one NewGuinea Singing Dog (NGSD). This positioned dingo and NGSD within the domestic dog Y-chr phylogeny, and produced one haplotype not detected before. With this data,we characterized 47 male dingoes in 30 Y-chr single-nucleotide polymorphism sites using protease-mediatedallele-specific extension technology. Only two haplotypes,H3 and H60, were found among the dingoes, at frequencies of 68.1 and 31.9 %, respectively, compared to 27 haplo-types previously established in the domestic dog. While H3 is common among Southeast Asian dogs, H60 was specif-ically found in dingoes and the NGSD, but was related to Southeast Asian dog Y-chr haplotypes. H3 and H60 wer eobserved exclusively in the western and eastern parts ofAustralia, respectively, but had a common range in South-east. Thus, the Y-chr diversity was very low, similar to previous observations for d-loop mtDNA. Overall genetic evidence suggests a very restricted introduction of the first dingoes into Australia, possibly from New Guinea. This study further confirms the dingo as an isolated feral dog."

Mitochondrial DNA data indicate an introduction through Mainland Southeast Asia for Australian dingoes and Polynesian domestic dogs. Wilton, Savolainen 2011
http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/early/2011/09/06/rspb.2011.1395 Br> "...dogs were one of three domesticates brought with the colonization of Polynesia, but the introduction routes to this region remain unknown. This also relates to questions about human history, such as to what extent the Polynesian culture was introduced with the Austronesian expansion from Taiwan or adopted en route, and whether pre-Neolithic Australia was culturally influenced by the surrounding Neolithic world. We investigate these questions by mapping the distribution of the mtDNA founder haplotypes for dingoes (A29) and ancient Polynesian dogs (Arc1 and Arc2) in samples across Southern East Asia (n = 424) and Island Southeast Asia (n = 219). All three haplotypes were found in South China, Mainland Southeast Asia and Indonesia but absent in Taiwan and the Philippines, and the mtDNA diversity among dingoes indicates an introduction to Australia 4600–18 300 years BP."

Genome-wide SNP and haplotype analyses reveal a rich history underlying dog domestication. Wayne, 2010

"Neighbour-joining trees reveal that most of these breeds (basenji, Afghan hound, Samoyed, saluki, Canaan dog, New Guinea singing dog, dingo, chow chow, Chinese Shar Pei, Akita, Alaskan malamute, Siberian husky and American Eskimo dog) are highly divergent from other dog breeds."

UPDATE:
Here is another paper that gives a detailed explanation on the heritage of the dingo, and its appropriate classification as a domestic dog.
The Wayward Dog: Is the Australian native dog or Dingo a distinct species? Jackson 2017
http://www.mapress.com/j/zt/ article/view/zootaxa.4317.2.1/ 12247

In light of these conclusions, and taking into account the recommended current practice for taxonomic nomenclature of the domesticates, as embodied in Opinion 2027 of the ICZN (2003), recent attempts to treat each of the Australian Dingo and the New Guinea Singing Dog as distinct species of canid are clearly unsupportable.
Dingoes and New Guinea Singing Dogs are feral Domestic Dogs and, as such, they must be treated taxonomically as breeds or varieties of C. familiaris.
Furthermore, as feral domesticates, neither variety can be recognised taxonomically as a subspecies, irrespective of whether or not they can be diagnosed by any combination of morphological, behavioural and genetic characters.
