Two instances of canine domestication occurred between 10,000 and 30,000 years ago when humans tamed wolves and turned them into dogs of various breeds, keeping the ones with the highest degree of sociality for further breeding. We now know that some of the genes associated with social behavior...
Goode. Humans and dogs in the American Bottom during the Late Woodland period have been shown to have similar diets, based on collagen and enamel isotopic analyses54, suggesting that the humans living at Janey B. Goode consumed a mix of fish, waterfowl, and plants, similar to the dogs. ...
Although the domestic dog’s origin is still unclear, this lineage is believed to have been domesticated from an extinct population of gray wolves, which is expected to be more closely related to dogs than to other populations of gray wolves. Here, we se
There is also no clear correlation between the mtDNA phylogenetic clades and the 10 morphological types (breeds) of yaks sampled (Table3), except that haplotypes of the Huanhu breed nested within one of the two main lineages, in Clades A and B. The haplotypes of all other breeds were found...

philippinensis, occur in the southeast Asian archipelago and the Philippines, respectively. The relationship among these species is unclear due to their high molecular and morphological similarity. This study analysed population structure of these three species within a southeast Asian biogeographical ...
However, the canine melanoma immune therapy, a model system with clear similarity to human disease, and the electroporation delivery of GHRH in pigs, a large species, argue differ- ently. These two clinical veterinary successes suggest that, with some adjustments, both of these products might ...
Despite this similarity in binding position, the phenotype of DNM in the DNA cleavage assay (that is, the buildup of OC DNA) suggests that its overall mode of inhibition is more similar to that of GSK299423. The mutational status of ParC does not affect sensitivity to DNM, as shown by ...
(in which there are variable copies of DNA at a genomic loci) was found to be between 2% and 7.4% (Vassos et al 2010). The low penetrance at large numbers of variants for complex diseases was precisely the rationale for developing polygenic risk scores in the first place, the idea ...
