New week, new paper!

Hot on the heels of part 1, "Genetics of canine diabetes mellitus: part 2" is now available online. With a more genetics focus, this article discusses what the future may hold for research into complex canine diseases 🧬

We are thrilled to share part 1 of our review article "Genetics of canine diabetes mellitus" just published in TVJ. It discusses much of what underpins the aims and work of the CDGP. Look out for part 2 soon 👀

New research paper! 🧬

CDGP members from @RoyalVetCollege, @UniofOxford and @ManchesterUP have investigated the association of a major immune gene complex with canine diabetes in 12 dog breeds 🐶

Check out the findings: https://t.co/NSwBdAF82G

Prospective pet owners should think very carefully about if they can meet a new puppy’s health, welfare, socialisation and behavioural needs in the longer term. We'd always recommend rehoming from the UK, & using the #PuppyContract for added peace of mind.

🐕 A new RVC @VetCompass study reveals flat-faced (#brachycephalic) dogs really are less healthy than other dogs

⛔ This research supports general agreement that owners must ‘stop and think before buying a flat-faced dog’

VetCompass data show that a great many disorders that dogs now get have allergy as a likely part of their cause. Many of these allergies are mirrored by similar allergies in humans. Dr Dan O'Neill discusses this in The Times: https://t.co/piW9TDF6Tb

[Vet Times @vettimesuk]

A research project that will look at why so many people bought #puppies during #lockdown will receive funding from @AWF_VETS.

Stellar CDGP member @DenyerAlice sheds light on the evolution of the patella (kneecap) in marsupials 🐨. Find out more in the paper at https://t.co/vC00tESe0e . Nice work Alice!

[Alice Denyer @DenyerAlice]

First first author paper out today 🥳 https://t.co/2ufJvceLJ7 Such a privilege to work with @JohnRHutchinson at @RoyalVetCollege. Thanks to @sesamoidstreet and @EvaCHerbst for the expertise and support and all the museum staff at @NHM_London and other UK collections.

This week is the 20th anniversary of the first draft of the Human Genome Project! Although our research focusses on canine genomes and disease, human genetic research is also crucial to our work. What a milestone the HGP was! 🧬

[National Human Genome Research Institute @genome_gov]

On June 26, 2000, leaders of the Human Genome Project were invited to the White House for the public announcement of a major milestone -- the successful generation of a draft sequence of the human genome! We’ll be sharing #HGPmemories from those HGP leaders all week!

@MsRazus Hi, thanks for your tweet. Please speak to your vet about your dog's insulin dose. We are a research partnership and can't advise about individual cases. All the best!

[Canine Diabetes Genetics Partnership @theCDGP]

Talented CDGP member @katevetpath demonstrating how histopathology can go hand-in-hand with genetic research to offer important insights into canine health and disease. Check out the paper in @NatureComms. Great work Kate!

[Kate Hughes @katevetpath]

Delighted to have interpreted histopath in this very exciting study on the competitive dynamics of #mitochondrialDNA #mtDNA in #caninetransmissiblevenerealtumour

Hot off the press! An exciting new paper by Heeley et al., studying canine diabetes in primary care practices in the UK. Carried out at @RoyalVetCollege with Prof Lucy Davison, co-founder of @theCDGP. Fantastic work by the @VetCompass team: https://t.co/IJ7pAIgwYW
