Reproducibility of the evaluation of genetic variant pathogenicity based on the animal variant classification guidelines

This study assesses the reproducibility of pathogenicity classification using the animal variant classification guidelines across three species, finding 65% reproducibility for pathogenicity and 83% clinically relevant agreement.

The DoGA Consortium Atlas of Canine Enhancers and Promoters Across Tissues and Development

The paper creates a transcription-based atlas of canine regulatory elements across tissues and development, identifying promoters and enhancers and their activity patterns.

Dog color patterns explained by modular promoters of ancient canid origin

The paper identifies regulatory modules controlling dog color patterns and shows their evolutionary origin in extinct canids.

FGF4 Retrogene On CFA12 Is Responsible For Chondrodystrophy And Intervertebral Disc Disease In Dogs

The paper identifies a FGF4 retrogene on CFA12 as the cause of chondrodystrophy and intervertebral disc disease in dogs, with a high odds ratio for IVDD.

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.
