Conservation status and historical relatedness of South African communal indigenous goat populations using a genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism marker by T. C. Chokoe, T. C. Chokoe, K. Hadebe, F. C. Muchadeyi, K. A. Nephawe, E. F. Dzomba, T. D. Mphahlele, T. C. Matelele, B. J. Mtileni

“…Effective population size (Ne), inbreeding levels, and the runs of homozygosity (ROHs) are effective tools for exploring the genetic diversity and understanding the demographic history in efforts to support breeding strategies to use and conserve genetic resources. Across populations, the current Ne of Gauteng was the lowest at 371 animals, while the historical Ne across populations suggests that the ancestor Ne has decreased by 53.86%, 44.58%, 42.16%, and 41.16% in Free State (FS), North West (NW), Limpopo (LP), and Gauteng (GP), respectively, over the last 971 generations. …”

Canine Mammary Carcinomas: A Comparative Analysis of Altered Gene Expression by Farruk M. Lutful Kabir, Carlos E. Alvarez, R. Curtis Bird

“…Moreover, co-deletion and/or homozygous loss of the INK4A/ARF/INK4B (CDKN2A/B) locus, encoding three members of the CKI tumor suppressor gene families (p16/INK4A, p14ARF and p15/INK4B), in many human and dog cancers including mammary carcinomas, suggested their important conserved genetic order and localization in orthologous chromosomal regions. miRNAs, as powerful post-transcriptional regulators of most of the cancer-associated genes, have not been well evaluated to date in animal cancer models. …”
