This study compares canine and human peripheral nerve sheath tumors, finding that H3K27me3 loss and H3K27ac gain drive tumor progression in both species.

This study identifies highly polymorphic MHC class II genes in Atlantic herring using long-read sequencing, revealing exceptional diversity and coevolution of gene pairs.

The paper examines sex differences in gene expression in northern jacanas to understand how sex roles influence neurogenomic profiles, finding complex genetic and hormonal interactions rather than simple reversal of sex-biased gene expression.

The paper presents telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies of a Thoroughbred horse and donkey derived from a mule, revealing insights into equid centromere evolution and plasticity.

This study analyzes genetic diversity and population dynamics of feral horses in the Western US using microsatellite markers, finding variation influenced by management practices and geographic proximity.

The paper presents an improved long-read assembly of the dog reference genome, significantly enhancing contiguity and gene annotation.

The paper presents a new domestic cat genome assembly using long-read sequencing, identifies novel variants associated with cancer and dwarfism, and highlights the utility of feline genomics for biomedical research.

This study identifies aneuploidy in equine early pregnancy loss through whole genome sequencing and ddPCR, showing a 21.8% frequency and unique aneuploid types associated with fetal lethality.

This study analyzes genetic diversity in lions over time, finding decreased nuclear diversity and increased fine-scale structure due to habitat fragmentation, while mitochondrial diversity remained stable.

The paper predicts the viability of archaic human hybrids using mitochondrial DNA divergence patterns to assess fertility differences between species pairs.
