- Abstract:
- ... Embryo loss is an important factor affecting fertility in dairy production. HH2 was identified as a haplotype on chromosome 1 associated with embryonic lethality in Holstein cattle. In the current study, both short‐ and long‐read WGS was performed on four carriers and four non‐carriers of HH2 to screen for variants in concordance with HH2 haplotype status. Sequence variation analysis revealed five ...

- Abstract:
- ... Fifteen cases of chondrodysplasia characterized by disproportionate dwarfism occurred in the progeny of a single Holstein bull. A de novo mutation event in the germline of the sire was suspected as cause. Whole‐genome sequencing revealed a single protein‐changing variant in the stop codon of FGFR3 gene on chromosome 6. Sanger sequencing of EDTA blood proved that this variant occurred de novo and s ...

- Abstract:
- ... High blood cholesterol concentration, mainly caused by high dietary cholesterol, is a potential risk factor for human health. Dairy products are important sources of human dietary cholesterol intake. Therefore, monitoring bovine milk cholesterol concentration is important for human health benefit. Genetic selection for improvement of cow milk cholesterol content requires understanding of the genet ...

- ... An eight‐week old Doberman Pinscher was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos syndrome based on the dog's hyper‐mobile carpal, tarsal and stifle joints and abnormal skin. The skin was loose and hyper‐elastic with several wounds and large atrophic scars. The dog was euthanized after a severe degloving injury from minimal trauma. A whole‐genome sequence, generated with DNA from the dog's blood, contained a r ...

After GWAS mapping and identification of a disease‐associated haplotype, a causative loss‐of‐function variant in APOB was identified. CD‐clinically affected APOB homozygotes showed poor development, intermittent diarrhea and hypocholesterolemia and, consequently, a limited life expect ...

- Abstract:
- ... In domestic cats, the AB blood group system consists of the three types A, B and C (also called AB). Mismatches can cause acute hemolytic transfusion reactions and hemolysis of the newborn (neonatal isoerythrolysis, NI). As blood types B and C are inherited recessively to A, breeders need to know the genotype to predict blood types in offspring and avoid NI. Several CMAH variants have been describ ...

To identify the differences between dogs and wolves associated with domestication, we analysed the blood transcriptomes of wolves and dogs by RNA‐Seq. We obtained a total of 30.87 Gb of raw reads from two dogs and ...

We observed extensive inter‐individual variation in the level of infection (LI) by assessing differences in proviral load in peripheral blood. This phenotypic variation appears to be determined by host genetics variants, especially those located ...

- Abstract:
- ... Osteochondrosis (OC), a disturbance in the process of endochondral ossification, is by far the most important equine developmental orthopaedic disease and is also common in other domestic animals and humans. The purpose of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) at the intermediate ridge of the distal tibia in Norwegian Standardbred ...

- Abstract:
- ... Hybridization between wild species and their domestic congeners often threatens the gene pool of the wild species. The last wild Bactrian camel (Camelus ferus) populations in Mongolia and China are examples of populations facing such a hybridization threat. To address this key issue in the conservation of wild camels, we analysed wild, hybrid and domestic Bactrian camels (Camelus bactrianus) origi ...

Emerging evidence supports the existence of a bidirectional immune-circadian relationship during homeostatic challenge. In peripheral blood, circadian rhythmicity manifests in terms of clock gene expression, circulating levels and function of leucocyte cell populat ...

However, leptin (LEP) also plays a role in immune performance and hence it was important to determine whether selection based on this SNP would negatively affect immune cell numbers or antibody production. LEP c.73C>T was assessed fo ...

- ... Maintaining pH and blood gases in a narrow range is essential to sustain normal biochemical reactions. Decreased oxygenation, poor tissue perfusion, disturbance to CO₂ expiration, and shortage of HCO₃⁻ can lead to metabolic acidosis. This is a common situation in swine, and originates from a broad range of medical conditions. pH and blood gases appear to be under genetic control, and populations w ...
