The paper surveys U.S. horse owners to assess their knowledge and priorities regarding genetic testing for equine health and breeding, identifying key concerns and information sources.

RefineDLC improves DeepLabCut outputs by cleaning, filtering, and interpolating data to produce reliable kinematic analyses across species and recording conditions.

The paper analyzes the impact of white spotting alleles, including W20, on the APHA-defined white spotting phenotype in American Paint Horses using genetic data from 1,054 registered animals.

The paper sequenced six diverse horse breeds to identify and annotate SNPs, INDELs, CNVs, and SVs, revealing functional variants related to physiology and size.

The paper identifies a novel missense variant in SLC45A2 in Gypsy horses associated with a dilute coat color phenotype called snowdrop.

The paper presents an updated horse reference genome, EquCab3, which improves contiguity and composition compared to the previous version, EquCab2.

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