Cancer researchers at the University of Minnesota and North Carolina State University have found that humans and dogs share more than friendship and companionship – they also share the same genetic basis for certain types of cancer. Furthermore, the researchers say that because of the way the gen...
Pairwise FSTbetween populations ranges from 0.028 to 0.301 (Fig.2b). The comparisons between WLH and other chicken populations exhibit the highest FST(0.209 – 0.301). When considering only IDGBs, FSTbetween Silkie and any other IDGB are the highest among all pairwise comparisons. Together with...

Solving the Old Mystery of the Oceanic "Quack" Are Chernobyl Dogs Experiencing Rapid Evolution? Could Bat Blood Hold the Key to Human Hibernation? This Decade-Old Whale Carcass Still Supports Life One Fossil Could Be a Missing Link in Our History ...
351 of these locations have never been reported before. To our surprise, we found that as many as 76 genomic locations predictive of the brain shape had previously already been found to be linked to the face shape. This makes the genetic link between face and brain shape a convincing one....
Purebred dogs are providing invaluable information about morphology, behaviour and complex diseases, both of themselves and humans, by supplying tractable populations in which to map genes that control those processes. The diversification of dog breeds has led to the development of breeds enriched for ...
The complexity of theSLAclass I region caused by extreme intra-locus sequence variations and inter-locus sequence similarity, presence of pseudogenes, and locus duplication makes the region difficult to study. To overcome the difficulty, we systemically developed a genomic DNA-based high resolution typ...
Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) was used to find the identity of the sequences and regions of similarity between detected sequences and available strains in the GenBank. Several sequences from those with the highest sequence identity by BLAST search were included in the construction of...
Consequently, although all the samples of Kangal and Akbash dogs were collected from Anatolia, genetic similarity between these two dogs was found to be low. 4. Discussion Domestic animals have shared a joint history of evolution with humans for approximately the last 10,000 years, but domestic ...
In humans, STSS and NF are serious diseases typically caused byS. pyogenesinfection. The emergence of strikingly similar STSS and NF in cats and dogs coupled with the close relationship between the causal species prompted preliminary investigation and subsequent discovery of two shared virulence factor...
