The paper identifies a 10 bp deletion in PRICKLE1 causing skeletal dysplasia in Cheviot sheep and develops a DNA test to eliminate the mutation.

The paper identifies genetic variants associated with antibody responses to infectious diseases in Tanzanian dairy cattle using genome-wide association studies.

This study simulates Atlantic salmon breeding programs to show that mixing between parallel year groups improves genomic prediction accuracy by reducing genetic distance and increasing genetic variation.

The paper identifies a recessive leg weakness syndrome in pigs caused by a premature stop mutation in the MSTN gene, showing balancing selection due to heterozygous advantage.
