Long-read RNA Sequencing Improves the Annotation of the Equine Transcriptome

The paper improves the equine transcriptome annotation using long-read RNA sequencing, achieving 45% better completeness and enhanced identification of alternative splicing and noncoding genes.

De-novo variants in XIRP1 associated with polydactyly and polysyndactyly in Holstein cattle

The paper identifies de-novo variants in XIRP1 associated with polydactyly and polysyndactyly in Holstein cattle through whole genome sequencing and bioinformatic analysis.

A de novo EDA-variant in a litter of shorthaired standard Dachshunds with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia

The paper identifies a de novo EDA mutation causing X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia in shorthaired standard Dachshunds through whole-genome sequencing and family analysis.

Developing a 670k genotyping array to tag ~2M SNPs across 24 horse breeds

The paper develops two new SNP arrays for horses, MNEc2M and MNEc670k, and demonstrates their imputation capabilities.
