[UCO Animal Citogenomics Lab 🇦🇷 🇪🇸 @CitogenomicsLAB]

We are hiring.
Come to work with us at the beautiful Andalucía.
There will be horses, horses, horses, and genes.
RTs are much appreciated!

Delighted for my niece Gabriella, recording her first win at Leopardstown last night.

[Racing TV @RacingTV]

👏 Many congrats to Gabriella Hill on her first winner, and in the famous Jackie Bolger silks aboard Glor Tire at @LeopardstownRC.

The rider is a great-grandaughter of Charmian Hill, who owned Dawn Run and rode the great mare to win on the track as a 62-year-old back in 1982!

📋Scientists at University College Dublin and @Plusvital Ltd. in Ireland have published a study describing the discovery of genes in racehorses that are associated with stress and coping in the training environment. https://t.co/gbo9CjwDrz

Exciting times @UCDMathStat! We hiring 3 (3!!!) Assistant Profs in Statistics for Data Science (2 x permanent, 1 x 5-year)

These roles will enhance and broaden the School’s current strengths in statistics and its contribution to data science in UCD and the wider community.

[Emmeline Hill @emmelinehill]

@pinhooking @CommsBio @UCD_Research @Plusvital @MartinStevensB1 The best approach would be to use the information in breeding decisions / mating planning to match mares to stallions to more systematically produce foals with favourable gene variants for racing.

@Equineperfectm1 @CommsBio @NaturePortfolio @Plusvital @RoyalAgUni Thank you. It was an extraordinary experience. Horsemanship of handlers was first class.

Our new @CommsBio #EquineGenomics research took us to the Mongolian steppe, recounted in @NaturePortfolio Behind The Paper

Mongolia, the land of the horse, reveals genes for the 'Sport of Kings'

[Emmeline Hill @emmelinehill]

@brianwmalloy @Perf_Genetics @brianwmalloy yes, we include a test for our early 2yo speed markers in our Australian genetic test product package @Plusvital. Whether stallions carry markers suitable to a region is very likely to influence their success as shuttle stallions.

[Emmeline Hill @emmelinehill]

@brianwmalloy @Perf_Genetics @brianwmalloy we have previously shown that different genes are important in different geographic regions likely due to variations in the racing ecosystem and therefore different selection pressures.

[Communications Biology @CommsBio]

A genome-wide analysis in galloping racehorse breeds identifies protein-altering genetic variants in a core set of genes that appear to determine attributes for racing. 🏇🧬 @UCD_Research, @RoyalAgUni, @UCD_CHAS, @plusvital

Honoured to be present at @SMAIrelandCom event @LordMayorDublin Mansion House today, calling for expansion of newborn screening in Ireland to keep pace with European health services @HSELive and save children's lives and improve livelihoods for affected children.

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

A campaign group for people with a rare genetic muscular condition has called for all newborn babies to be tested for the disease. Spinal Muscular Atrophy affects around six babies in Ireland each year | Read more: https://t.co/Pb1UKOuJtj

[SMA Ireland @SMAIrelandCom]

SMA Ireland welcomes news that Newborn Screening Advisory Committee will add Spinal Muscular Atrophy to list of conditions under preliminary review @HIQA. Adding SMA to the heel prick test is a step closer. Process must be expedited in order to save lives. #BringSMAtoHeel
