TL;DR: The largest canine genome-wide association study to date, with a panel of over 4,200 dogs genotyped at 180,000 markers, is undertaken, to accelerate mapping efforts of canine complex diseases.
Whole genome detection of sequence and structural polymorphism in six diverse horses.
TL;DR: Putative functional variants including genes associated with size variation like LCORL gene, ZFAT in the Arabian, American Miniature and Percheron horses and ANKRD1 in the Native Mongolian Chakouyi horse are revealed.

Mutation responsible for congenital photosensitivity and hyperbilirubinemia in Southdown sheep.
TL;DR: A nonsynonymous mutation at ovine Chr3:193,691,195, which generated a glycine-to-arginine amino acid change within the predicted Slco1b3 protein was significantly associated with hyperbilirubinemia and predicted to be deleterious.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the contribution of genetics to body conformation in the TWH, collecting DNA samples, body measurements, and gait/training information from 282 individuals.

TL;DR: The genome re-sequencing and variant detection analysis for six horses belonging to geographically and physiologically diverse breeds revealed putatively functional variants including genes associated with size variation like ANKRD1 and HMGA1 in the very large Percheron and the ZFAT gene in the American Miniature horse.
