BMC Genomics, 20(Suppl 3), https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-5537-0

Domestication and centuries of selective breeding have changed genomes of sheep breeds to respond to environmental challenges and human needs. The genomes of local breeds, therefore, are valuable sources of genomic variants to be used to understand m...

An unusual supernumerary chromosome has been reported for two related avian species, the zebra and Bengalese finches. This large, germline-restricted chromosome (GRC) is eliminated from somatic cells and spermatids and transmitted via oocytes only. I...

Genome-wide association study for body weight in cattle populations from Siberia (2019)
Journal Article
Igoshin, A. V., Yudin, N. S., Belonogova, N. M., & Larkin, D. M. (2019). Genome-wide association study for body weight in cattle populations from Siberia. Animal Genetics, 50(3), 250-253. https://doi.org/10.1111/age.12786

Body weight is a complex trait in cattle associated with commonly used commercial breeding measurements related to growth. Although many quantitative trait loci (QTL) for body weight have been identified in cattle so far, searching for genetic determ...

Time lapse: A glimpse into prehistoric genomics (2019)
Journal Article
Griffin, D. K., Larkin, D. M., & O'Connor, R. E. (2019). Time lapse: A glimpse into prehistoric genomics. European Journal of Medical Genetics, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejmg.2019.03.004

For the purpose of this review, ‘time-lapse’ refers to the reconstruction of ancestral (in this case dinosaur) karyotypes using genome assemblies of extant species. Such reconstructions are only usually possible when genomes are assembled to ‘chromos... Read More about Time lapse: A glimpse into prehistoric genomics.

The role of chromosome rearrangements in driving evolution has been a long-standing question of evolutionary biology. Here we focused on ruminants as a model to assess how rearrangements may have contributed to the evolution of gene regulation. Using...
