Association of low-frequency and rare coding-sequence variants with blood lipids and coronary heart disease in 56,000 whites and blacks.

Gina M. Peloso, +98 more
TL;DR: Although the "Exome Array" was used to genotype >200,000 low-frequency and rare coding sequence variants across the genome in 56,538 individuals, none of these four variants was associated with risk for CHD, suggesting that examples of low- frequencies with robust effects on both lipids and CHD will be limited.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic Analyses Reveal the Influence of Geographic Origin, Migration, and Hybridization on Modern Dog Breed Development

TL;DR: These analyses characterize the complexities of breed development, resolving longstanding questions regarding individual breed origination, the effect of migration on geographically distinct breeds, and, by inference, transfer of trait and disease alleles among dog breeds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phylogenomic evidence for ancient hybridization in the genomes of living cats (Felidae)

TL;DR: The first robust felid time tree that accounts for unique maternal, paternal, and biparental evolutionary histories is presented, highlighting the mosaic origin of modern felid genomes and the influence of sex chromosomes and sex-biased dispersal in post-speciation gene flow.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole genome sequencing of canids reveals genomic regions under selection and variants influencing morphology

TL;DR: The results identify variants of strong impact associated with 16 phenotypes, including body weight variation which, when combined with existing data, explain greater than 90% of body size variation in dogs.
