In addition to including one of the most popular companion animals, species from the cat
family Felidae serve as a powerful system for genetic analysis of inherited and infectious …

Our knowledge of cat family biology was recently expanded to include a genomics
perspective with the completion of a draft whole genome sequence of an Abyssinian cat …

Habitat degradation and loss of genetic diversity are common threats faced by almost all of
today's wild cats. Big cats, such as tigers and lions, are of great concern and have received …

▪ Abstract The compilation of a dense gene map and eventually a whole genome sequence
(WGS) of the domestic cat holds considerable value for human genome annotation, for …

Genomic data from species of the cat family Felidae promise to stimulate veterinary and
human medical advances, and clarify the coherence of genome organization. We describe …

Inter-species hybridization has been recently recognized as potentially common in wild
animals, but the extent to which it shapes modern genomes is still poorly understood …

Abstract Background The lion (Panthera leo) is one of the most popular and iconic feline
species on the planet, yet in spite of its popularity, the last century has seen massive …

We describe the construction of a high-resolution radiation hybrid (RH) map of the domestic
cat genome, which includes 2662 markers, translating to an estimated average intermarker …

High-resolution genetic and physical maps are invaluable tools for building accurate
genome assemblies, and interpreting results of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) …

The genome sequence (1.9-fold coverage) of an inbred Abyssinian domestic cat was
assembled, mapped, and annotated with a comparative approach that involved cross …
