A Nonsynonymous Change in Adhesion G Protein–Coupled Receptor L3 Associated With Risk for Equine Degenerative Myeloencephalopathy in the Caspian Horse (2018)
Journal Article
Posbergh, C. J., Pollott, G. E., Southard, T. L., Divers, T. J., & Brooks, S. A. (2018). A Nonsynonymous Change in Adhesion G Protein–Coupled Receptor L3 Associated With Risk for Equine Degenerative Myeloencephalopathy in the Caspian Horse. Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 70, 96-100. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jevs.2018.08.010

Equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (EDM), a neurological disease of young horses, causes progressive development of symmetric ataxia predominantly in the pelvic limbs. Equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy is likely inherited and with no known...

Invited review: Bioinformatic methods to discover the likely causal variant of a new autosomal recessive genetic condition using genome-wide data (2018)
Journal Article
Pollott, G. E. (2018). Invited review: Bioinformatic methods to discover the likely causal variant of a new autosomal recessive genetic condition using genome-wide data. animal, https://doi.org/10.1017/S1751731118001970

In animals, new autosomal recessive genetic diseases (ARGD) arise all the time due to the regular, random mutations that occur during meiosis. In order to reduce the effect of any damaging new variant, it is necessary to find its cause. To evaluate t...

The application of a mechanistic model to analyze the factors that affect the lactation curve parameters of dairy sheep in Mexico (2018)
Journal Article
Angeles-Hernandez, J. C., Pollott, G. E., Albarran-Portillo, B., Ramírz-Perez, A. H., Lizarazo-Chaparro, A., Castelan Ortega, O., & Gonzalez Ronzuillo, M. (2018). The application of a mechanistic model to analyze the factors that affect the lactation curve parameters of dairy sheep in Mexico. Small Ruminant Research, 164, 58-63. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.smallrumres.2018.05.003

Pollott́s mechanistic model has been designed to describe lactation curve parameters based on the known biology of milk production and can be useful for analyzing the factors that affect this process. A total of 553 lactations (9956 weekly test-day r... Read More about The application of a mechanistic model to analyze the factors that affect the lactation curve parameters of dairy sheep in Mexico.
