Project description:SNP genotyping was used to determine if the free living Highland Wild dogs of Papua, Indonesia are the ansestors of captive New Guinea Singing Dogs.
Project description:Using WGBS we investigated blood DNA methylation profiles of Cooinda the Alpine dingo and determined putative regulatory elements (unmethylated regions, UMRs, and lowly methylated regions, LMRs).
Project description:Using WGBS we investigated blood DNA methylation profiles of Canis lupus dingo and determined putative regulatory elements (unmethlated regions (UMRs) and lowly methylated regions (LMRs).
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of dog muscle tissue comparing control dogs. tested, genomewide, for genes differentially expressed in muscle between the escapers and the affected dogs. Using Agilent mRNA SurePrint Canine arrays, we compared muscle gene expression of the two escapers, four affected, and four normal dogs at age 2 years.
Project description:We used the scRNA-seq to characterize disease-related heterogeneity within cell populations of macrophages/monocytes in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from West Highland white terriers either healthy or affected with canine idioapthic pulmonary fibrosis. The disease is still not well understood, occurs in old West Highland white terriers and results from deposition of fibrotic tissue in the lung parenchyma causing respiratory failure.
