Lisa S. Andersson,Martin Larhammar,Fatima Memic,Hanna Wootz,Doreen Schwochow,Carl-Johan Rubin,Kalicharan Patra,Thorvaldur Árnason,Lisbeth Wellbring,Göran Hjälm,Freyja Imsland,Jessica L. Petersen,Molly E. McCue,James R. Mickelson,Gus Cothran,Nadav Ahituv,Lars Roepstorff,Sofia Mikko,Anna Vallstedt,Gabriella Lindgren,Leif Andersson,Leif Andersson,Klas Kullander +22 more
TL;DR: This work shows that a premature stop codon in the DMRT3 gene has a major effect on the pattern of locomotion in horses, and positions Dmrt3 in a pivotal role for configuring the spinal circuits controlling stride in vertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work provides further evidence of the importance of MSTN in racing breeds, provides strong evidence for selection upon gait and size, and illustrates the potential for population-based techniques to find genomic regions driving important phenotypes in the modern horse.

TL;DR: The use of a genome-wide set of autosomal SNPs and 814 horses from 36 breeds to provide the first detailed description of equine breed diversity is described, providing new insights into the relationships among and the diversity within breeds of horses.

Antczak,James N. MacLeod +22 more
TL;DR: An improved genome assembly for the domestic horse is presented by combining short- and long-read data, as well as proximity ligation data, which improves contiguity of the assembly by 40-fold, with a 10-fold reduction in gaps.
