Mission Statement
Our interdisciplinary team is working to understand the cellular, molecular and genetic basis of inherited neuromuscular and neurological disorders of companion animal species.
Summary
Our laboratory focuses on the genetics and genomics of heritable disorders of dogs and horses. This includes: molecular and physiological basis for inherited equine exertional myopathies and metabolic disorders; molecular and physiological basis for inherited neuromuscular and neurological disease in various dog breeds; and development of genetic linkage, physical, and comparative maps of the horse genome, with development and acquisition of SNP mapping tools in both species, to enable the above studies to be successful.
