Using Dogs as a Model System in Genomics

Explore the fascinating world of canine genomics in this 41-minute conference talk from the Computational Genomics Summer Institute (CGSI) 2024. Delve into the use of dogs as a model system for genomic research, uncovering insights into genetic recombination, demography, and complex disease mapping. Learn about targeted genetic recombination in dog gene promoter regions, the findings from the Dog10K consortium's genome sequencing of 2000 canids, and the mapping of complex diseases and phenotypes in domestic dogs. Gain valuable knowledge on how canine genomics contributes to our understanding of genome function and architecture, with potential applications in both veterinary and human medicine.
