TL;DR: A meta-analysis of data from cattle shows that the genetic architecture underlying stature is similar to that in humans, where many genomic regions individually explain only a small amount of phenotypic variance.

TL;DR: Hairless dogs and Chinese crested dogs are characterized by missing hair and teeth, a phenotype termed canine ectodermal dysplasia, and a frameshift mutation within the FOXI3 coding sequence in hairless dogs is identified as a regulator of ectodmal development.

TL;DR: This work reports that colour sidedness is determined by a first allele on chromosome 29 (Cs29), which results from the translocation of a 492-kilobase chromosome 6 segment encompassing KIT to chromosome 29, and a second allele on chromosomes 6 (Cs6), derived from the first by repatriation of fused 575-kiloblade chromosome 6 and 29 sequences to the KIT locus.

TL;DR: Several independent mutations in MITF and PAX3 together with known variants in the EDNRB and KIT genes explain a large proportion of horses with the more extreme white spotting phenotypes.
