New research indicates that ancient stallions were far more genetically diverse before domestication.
The first equine genome was sequence was completed in 2007, but what is the state of that sequence in 2011?

Researchers are learning what genes (when found or not found) could suggest about a Thoroughbred’s potential.

Learn about the basics of equine genetics and the different applications they have in equine performance.
The combination of genomics and pedigree theory hasn’t come close to reaching its potential, speakers agreed.
The first day of the Thoroughbred Genetics, Pedigree, and Performance Conference provided informative sessions

University of Kentucky researchers examine the genetics of congenital flexural limb deformities in foals.
Gluck faculty members will speak at the 2011 Thoroughbred Pedigree, Genetics, and Performance Conference.
Researchers are working to understand the link between the myostatin gene and Thoroughbreds’ racing potential.
Researchers from Inner Mongolia Agricultural University and BGI have sequenced the Mongolian horse genome.
The APHA has introduced the University of California, Davis, as its official genetic testing provider.

Cerebellar abiotrophy (CA) might be able to jump the “breed barrier” and affect other types of horses.
The genetics behind the athletic performance of Thoroughbred racehorses has been a popular area of research in the past few years. A large-scale study was carried out recently in Japan, the results of which corroborate those of previous studies:
This year the University of Kentucky’s Animal Genetics Testing & Research Laboratory (AGTRL) will celebrate 25 years of offering a variety of genetic testing services to horse owners and breed registries. Established in 1986 and formerly known as the Parentage Testing Laboratory, the AGTRL is located in the Gluck Equine Research Center after being housed in the Dimmock Animal Pathology building at
