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...

Limping following limb loss increases locomotor stability (2018)
Journal Article
Wilshin, S., Shamble, P. S., Hovey, K. J., Harris, R., Spence, A. J., & Hsieh, S. T. (2018). Limping following limb loss increases locomotor stability. Journal of Experimental Biology, https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.174268

Although many arthropods have the ability to voluntarily lose limbs, how these animals rapidly adapt to such an extreme perturbation remains poorly understood. It is thought that moving with certain gaits can enable efficient, stable locomotion; howe... Read More about Limping following limb loss increases locomotor stability.

Observational Study Design in Veterinary Pathology, Part 1: Study Design (2018)
Journal Article
Caswell, J. L., Bassel, L. L., Rothenburger, J. L., Gröne, A., Sargeant, J. M., Beck, A. P., …Yamate, J. (2018). Observational Study Design in Veterinary Pathology, Part 1: Study Design. Veterinary Pathology, 55(6), https://doi.org/10.1177/0300985818785705

Observational studies are the basis for much of our knowledge of veterinary pathology and are highly relevant to the daily practice of pathology. However, recommendations for conducting pathology-based observational studies are not readily available.... Read More about Observational Study Design in Veterinary Pathology, Part 1: Study Design.

Heteromeric RNP Assembly at LINEs Controls Lineage-Specific RNA Processing (2018)
Journal Article
Attig, J., Agostini, F., Gooding, C., Chakrabarti, A. M., Singh, A., Haberman, N., …Ule, J. (2018). Heteromeric RNP Assembly at LINEs Controls Lineage-Specific RNA Processing. Cell, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2018.07.001

Long mammalian introns make it challenging for the RNA processing machinery to identify exons accurately. We find that LINE-derived sequences (LINEs) contribute to this selection by recruiting dozens of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to introns. This in...

Livestock trade network: potential for disease transmission and implications for risk-based surveillance on the island of Mayotte (2018)
Journal Article
Kim, Y., Dommergues, L., M'sa, A. B., Mérot, P., Cardinale, E., Edmunds, J., …Métras, R. (2018). Livestock trade network: potential for disease transmission and implications for risk-based surveillance on the island of Mayotte. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-29999-y

The island of Mayotte is a department of France, an outermost region of the European Union located in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar and the coast of Eastern Africa. Due to its close connection to the African mainland and neighbouring islands, t...
