DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Elaine Ostrander\nhosted by Beatriz Vicoso\nAbstract: 
 The Ostrander lab seeks to understand disease susceptibility\, behavior\, 
 and morphologic variation that occur across domestic dog breeds. Working w
 ith dog owners\, breeders and the American Kennel Club\, the lab collects 
 DNA samples from dogs of varying phenotypes and applies the most sophistic
 ated of genomic technologies to understand variation in behavior\, morphol
 ogy and disease susceptibility across domestic dog breeds. This informatio
 n inevitably helps us understand the genetic underpinnings of the same or 
 similar phenotypes in humans\, highlighting mutations\, genes or pathways 
 important to developmental and disease processes. Dogs\, are ideal for suc
 h studies since each dog breed represented an isolated and relatively pure
  breeding population\, dog families are larger—much more so then humans\,
  and dog owners ensure the health of their pets by vigilant screening on t
 he part of a highly motivated veterinary community. This presentation will
  summarize some of the morphologic phenotypes the Ostrander lab has and is
  pursing and the large resources the lab is developing for the research co
 mmunity to tackle those questions. We will also discuss origins of dog bre
 eds and how canine populations are unique from those of other domestic mam
 mals and the application of this data to understanding breed specific diso
 rders.
