Excited to share our story about an ancestral mutation in a #lncrna antisense of IGF1, that appeared over 50,000 years ago in #wolves, and that impacts modern #dogs and wild canids body size. It's out in @CurrentBiology. cell.com/current-biolog…
All thanks to my co-authors including @NicolasDubos @BevantKevin @ThomasDerrien7 @laurenhennelly1 @LrFrantz @Greger_Larson and the Ostrander lab @genome_gov
It is not only a #dog story, it is a #canid story.
An old allele associated with small size is shared between 13 different canid species.
A second allele, associated with large size, appeared in #wolves lineage, detected in a 54,000 years old #wolf.
