"Genetic Variation"

Improved canine exome designs, featuring ncRNAs and increased coverage of protein coding genes.

By limiting sequencing to those sequences transcribed as mRNA, whole exome sequencing is a cost-efficient technique often used in disease-association studies. We developed two target enrichment designs based on the recently released annotation of the …

Annotation of the domestic dog genome sequence: finding the missing genes.

There are over 350 genetically distinct breeds of domestic dog that present considerable variation in morphology, physiology, and disease susceptibility. The genome sequence of the domestic dog was assembled and released in 2005, providing an …

Identification of genomic regions associated with phenotypic variation between dog breeds using selection mapping.

The extraordinary phenotypic diversity of dog breeds has been sculpted by a unique population history accompanied by selection for novel and desirable traits. Here we perform a comprehensive analysis using multiple test statistics to identify regions …
