Morphometrics and Mitochondrial (COI‐Based) Molecular Barcoding of Diptychus maculatus Steindachner, 1866, Snow Trout from the Trans‐Himalayan Region of Ladakh, India

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The present study integrates morphometric analysis, length–weight relationship (LWR), condition factor, and mitochondrial COI‐based molecular barcoding to elucidate the biological characteristics of Diptychus maculatus and confirm species identity, respectively, from the Trans‐Himalayan region of Ladakh, India.

SINE Insertion in LAMA3 in Dogs With Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) is a hereditary skin disorder caused by defects in proteins responsible for dermal‐epidermal adhesion. We investigated the genetic cause of JEB in three related mixed‐breed puppies presenting with congenital skin blistering and ulceration. Whole‐genome sequencing of one affected dog followed by comparison

A Combination of Alleles in LMOD2 and a lncRNA is Strongly Associated With Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT A previous genome‐wide association study identified regions on canine chromosome (cfa) 13 and 14 associated with early onset myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS). In the present study, whole genome sequencing (WGS) of 9 CKCS cases (mitral regurgitation (MR) before 4.5 years or congestive heart failure

Implementation of Metafounders in the Genomic Prediction for the Polled Trait in Brahman Cattle Using a Multi‐Breed Population

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The absence of horns (polled trait) in cattle is associated with better animal welfare by reducing the need for dehorning. In Brahman cattle, population size and the scarcity of phenotypic records challenge the accuracy of genomic predictions for this trait.

Urbanisation Leaves a Genetic Signature but No Detectable Demographic Effects in a Small Mammal Population

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Urbanisation can alter both genetic connectivity and demographic performance of wildlife populations, but these responses may occur on different temporal scales. Using multi‐year capture‐mark‐recapture data and microsatellite analyses of Eurasian red squirrels across an urbanisation gradient in Berlin, we found subtle genetic structuring without clear ...
