Delighted to be a part of this new study presenting findings about the genetic basis of dog freckles, the "ticked" phenotype, from Claire Wade and collaborators onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Our research is getting noticed! This paper comparing the genomics of canine hemangiosarcoma and human angiosarcoma is one of Molecular Cancer Research's most cited of 2019. Another success to put on the "post-pandemic celebrate list"! mcr.aacrjournals.org/content/17/12/…

Kerstin Lindblad-Toh research dog disease genetics to find out how it can be applied to humans. Her goal is for the new findings to translate into personalized diagnostics and health care #KAW100 #genetics #immunology @UU_University Broad Institute bit.ly/3cQeaA9

Eric Axelsson and colleagues present WGS data from 8 dog breeds, showing that cavalier King Charles spaniels carry more harmful genetic variants than other breeds in the study and identify candidate risk alleles for the heart disease MMVD. journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a…

Earth BioGenome Project #EarthBioGenome @EBPGenome moving from pilot projects to full-scale sequencing of all plants, animals, fungi and other microbial life on Earth. 3 great papers out in PNAS this week with contribution from SciLifeLab pnas.org/content/119/4/…

An interesting new study from our colleagues at Broad Institute investigating behavioral and other traits in more than 2000 purebred and mixed-breed dogs. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

nature.com/articles/s4200… New! We use Bayesian and selection methods to find genetic risk factors for canine atopic dermatitis in 4 breeds. 15 associated loci, 8 selection regions, many indicating interesting similarities between canine and human AD. #caninehealth #atopicdermatitis

"In humans worldwide, the Zoonomia studies [genomes from 240 placental mammals] demonstrate how explicitly thinking about humans as a mammal among mammals can substantially enrich our understanding of the emergence of evolutionary novelty and human uniqueness."

A team co-led by Elinor Karlsson, PhD, is showing how much we can learn from studying the genomes of mammals. Read about the 13 studies published in Science Magazine that help scientists better understand health and disease: direc.to/jmQ6 Elinor Karlsson (elinork.bsky.social) Kerstin Lindblad-Toh Lab Broad Institute

From the ZoonomiaProject — the largest comparative genomics resource in the world — comes a package of papers that compare the genomes of 240 mammals.

Special issue of Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… - 11 papers from the ZoonomiaProject comparing the genomes of 240 mammals. A fantastic effort for understanding mammals, mammalian evolution and ourselves. Elinor Karlsson (elinork.bsky.social) Science Magazine UMass Chan Medical School @UU_University Broad Institute

In our new study, we identify novel candidate cancer driver genes in medulloblastoma by using evolutionary constraint. The results imply different molecular pathways in different patient groups opening for specified diagnostics and personalized treatment. www-pnas-org.ezproxy.its.uu.se/doi/10.1073/pn…
