Toward a genome-wide approach for detecting hybrids: informative SNPs to detect introgression between domestic cats and European wildcats ( Felis silvestris )
Rita Oliveira,Ettore Randi,Federica Mattucci,Jennifer D. Kurushima,Leslie A. Lyons,Paulo C. Alves +5 more
TL;DR: Results from simulated and real genotypes show that the 158 SNPs provide successful estimates of admixture, with 100% hybrid individuals being correctly identified in STRUCTURE and over 92% using the NEWHYBRIDS’ algorithm.

Key determinants of dog and cat welfare : behaviour, breeding and household lifestyle
Quixi Sonntag,K.L. Overall +1 more
TL;DR: A better understanding of animal behaviour by both pet owners and professionals, to more effectively meet the needs of dogs and cats and recognise their problems, should inform the formulation of objective welfare assessments to ensure a better quality of life for the animals.

DNA mutations of the cat: The good, the bad and the ugly
TL;DR: This review of ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ DNA variants provides the current state of knowledge for genetic testing and genetic health management for cats.

A web resource on DNA tests for canine and feline hereditary diseases
Jeffrey Slutsky,Karthik Raj,Scott Yuhnke,Jerold Bell,Neale Fretwell,Åke Hedhammar,Claire M. Wade,Urs Giger +7 more
TL;DR: A web application has been developed to collect, organize and display information on available DNA tests and other supporting information, including gene and chromosomal locations, mutations, primary research citations and disease descriptions, to provide clinicians, researchers, breeders and companion animal owners with a single comprehensive, up-to-date and readily searchable webpage for information on hereditary disease testing.

Characterization of an Early-Onset, Autosomal Recessive, Progressive Retinal Degeneration in Bengal Cats.
Ron Ofri,Christopher M. Reilly,David J. Maggs,Paul G. FitzGerald,Yael Shilo-Benjamini,Kathryn L. Good,Robert A. Grahn,Danielle D. Splawski,Leslie A. Lyons +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a fourth heritable retinal degeneration in domestic cats, specifically in the Bengal breed, and suggest this disease could serve as a feline model for human autosomal recessive retinal atrophy.

Dynamics of mitochondrial dna evolution in animals: amplification and sequencing with conserved primers
Thomas D. Kocher,W.K. Thomas,Axel Meyer,Scott V. Edwards,Svante Pääbo,Francis X. Villablanca,Allan C. Wilson +6 more
TL;DR: The polymerase chain reaction is used to amplify homologous segments of mtDNA from more than 100 animal species, including mammals, birds, amphibians, fishes, and some invertebrates, and the unexpectedly wide taxonomic utility of these primers offers opportunities for phylogenetic and population research.
Dynamics of mitochondrial DNA evolution in animals: Amplification and sequencing with conserved primers (cytochrome b/12S ribosomal DNA/control region/evolutionary genetics/molecular phylogenies)
T. D. Kocher,W. K. Thomas,Axel Meyer,Scott V. Edwards,Svante Pääbo,F. X. VILLABLANCAtt,Allan C. Wilson +6 more
TL;DR: This paper used the polymerase chain reaction to amplify homologous segments of mtDNA from more than 100 animal species, including mammals, birds, amphibians, fishes, and some invertebrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid evolution of animal mitochondrial DNA.
TL;DR: The rate of evolution of the mitochondrial genome appears to exceed that of the single-copy fraction of the nuclear genome by a factor of about 10 and is likely to be an extremely useful molecule to employ for high-resolution analysis of the evolutionary process.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic performance of distinct gene classes showed that Y-chromosome segments are appreciably more informative than mitochondrial DNA, X-linked, or autosomal genes in resolving the rapid Felidae species radiation.
