Leading the way: finding genes for neurologic disease in dogs using genome-wide mRNA sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

Because of dogs' unique population structure, human-like disease biology, and advantageous genomic features, the canine system has risen dramatically in popularity as a tool for discovering disease alleles that have been difficult to find by studying human families or populations. To date, disease studies in dogs have primarily employed either linkage analysis, leveraging the typically large family size, or...
