Background: Many common and relevant diseases affecting equine welfare have yet to be tested regarding structural variants such as copy number variations (CNVs). CNVs make up a substantial proportion of total genetic variability in populations of man...

Joint genomic prediction of canine hip dysplasia in UK and US Labrador Retrievers. Frontiers in Genetics, 9, Article 101. https://doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2018.00101

Canine hip dysplasia, a debilitating orthopedic disorder that leads to osteoarthritis and cartilage degeneration, is common in several large-sized dog breeds and shows moderate heritability suggesting that selection can reduce prevalence. Estimating... Read More about Joint genomic prediction of canine hip dysplasia in UK and US Labrador Retrievers.
