In 2024, the number of newly registered Labrador Retriever dogs was highest in Denmark with around 2,600 animals.
As number of dog bites grow, debate over safety of breeds intensifyAs number of dog bites growHouston Chronicle
Testicular or ovotesticular disorder of sex development (DSD) in genetic females (78,XX; SRY-negative) has been reported quite frequently in numerous dog breeds and is usually diagnosed due to the presence of female external genitalia with an enlarged clitoris. The molecular background of this di...
Copy number variants (CNVs) account for substantial variation between genomes and are a major source of normal and pathogenic phenotypic differences. The dog is an ideal model to investigate mutational mechanisms that generate CNVs as its genome lacks a
This statistic presents the results of a survey conducted in 2018 about the distribution of pet ownership in Japan, broken down by the number of animals owned.
examined ten birds and identified 96 CNVs corresponding to approximately 1.3% of the chicken genome [46]; another study detected 130 CNVRs in four chicken breeds (Cobb broiler, White Leghorn, Chinese Dou and Chinese Dehong) [47]; and Crooijmans et al. detected 3,154 CNVs, grouped into 1...
We performed a population genetics survey based on CNVs derived from the BovineHD SNP array data of eight distinct cattle breeds. We generated high resolution results that show geographical patterns of variations and genome-wide admixture proportions within and among breeds. Similar to the previous ...
Copy number variations (CNVs) are gains and losses of genomic sequence greater than 50 bp between two individuals of a species. While single nucle
In the F2 families, wild boar and Asian local breeds had the wild-type alleles at both QTLs. All the alleles of European breeds at the QTL on SSC1 increased the number of vertebrae, but only some of the alleles of European breeds at the QTL on SSC7 increased vertebral number. At the...
Copy number variants contribute to genetic variation in birds. Analyses of copy number variants in chicken breeds had focused primarily on those from commercial varieties with nothing known about the occurrence and diversity of copy number variants in locally raised Chinese chicken breeds. To address ...
