Long‐Read Whole‐Genome Sequencing Uncovers a Deletion Upstream to HOXD13 Causing Synpolydactyly
ABSTRACT Synpolydactyly (SPD) is a heterogeneous distal‐limb malformation syndrome, characterized by webbing and duplication of adjacent digits. SPD1, the most common type, is attributed to disease‐causing variants in HOXD13, a transcription factor in the HOXD cluster that is essential for limb development. Here, we present a challenging exome‐negative

Characterisation of the Historic Demographic Decline of the British European Polecat Population
ABSTRACT The European polecat (Mustela putorius) has a widespread distribution across many countries of mainland Europe but is documented to be declining within these ranges. In Britain, direct persecution led to a severe decline of the polecat population during the 19th century. Unlike European mainland populations, it is now recovering across much of
