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 introduces Verkko-Fillet, a tool for refining genome assemblies, and applies it to produce a telomere-to-telomere giraffe genome.

FuChi is a new Fucci-based system in chickens that accurately tracks cell cycle phases in vivo, improving upon existing models by distinguishing all phases and enabling detailed developmental studies.

This paper evaluates genotyping strategies for a service dog population using simulation, finding that low-pass sequencing outperforms SNP arrays in imputation accuracy and cost-effectiveness.

This study analyzes the genomic data of red squirrels in Scotland to reveal loss of heterozygosity linked to extreme founder effects from human impacts.

This study uses fate mapping in chickens to show SHH-expressing cells contribute to specific forearm bones, revealing differences in signaling between species and tissues.

The paper identifies 10 genes with conserved expression in the optic fissure across vertebrates and suggests EMX2, NID1, and EPHB3 as novel candidate genes for ocular coloboma.

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

This study shows that the conserved Shh enhancer SBE2 is critical for maintaining sufficient Shh expression in the rostral diencephalon, which is necessary for proper hypothalamic and craniofacial development.

The paper characterizes a second gain-of-function EDAR variant, EDAR380R, and finds it has increased signaling output but lacks the same signs of positive selection as EDAR370A.

The paper identifies a missense variant in OLFML3 as a candidate for severe goniodysgenesis and glaucoma in Border Collies.
