What are your personal thoughts after reviewing these three aricles below? A Comprehensive Biomedical Variant Catalogue Based on Whole Genome Sequences of 582 Dogs and Eight Wolves (Jagannathan et al., 2019) The research consists of a catalog of genetic variants from the WGS of 582 dogs of 126 breeds plus 8 wolves, according to Jagannathan et al. (2019). In a study performed by the DBVDC, more than 23 million single nucleotide variations (SNVs) and over 10 million short insertions and deletions were discovered. Perhaps more worrisome, 93 of these variants were new and had not been reported earlier. This research will focus on shedding some light on genetic diseases prevalent in the dog population, most of which are similar to those affecting humans and, thus, would be very useful in both canine and human research fields. New Insights into the Genetic Composition and Phylogenetic Relationship of Wolves and Dogs in the Iberian Peninsula (Pires et al., 2017) In the present work, Pires et al. (2017) published a study concerning the genetic analysis and the phylogenetic classification of the wolves, Canis lupus and domestic dogs, Canis lupus familiars in the Iberian Peninsula with emphasis on the Iberian wolf, Canis lupus signatus. Out of the total sample of analyzed genes, the authors focus on mtDNA to reveal the genetic distinctiveness of Iberian wolves compared with other populations, including domestic dogs. In this regard, the study presents further knowledge about domestication and the value of geographic isolation to genetic differentiation. The outcomes of this research would be important to evolutionary biology and conservation genetics. This paper offers fresh perspectives on how geographical barriers affect the genetic variation among populations and, in turn, on the domestication of dogs. This paper extends the previous knowledge of the genetic history of wolves and dogs in general and the Iberian wolf in particular. It also has conservation implications since it is only possible to conserve the natural genetic differences of local wolf populations. Social Environment and Genetics Underlie Body Site-Specific Microbiomes of Yellowstone National Park Gray Wolves (DeCandia et al., 2021) DeCandia et al. (2021) focus on the interactions between the genetic basis and the social context in Yellowstone National Park's grey wolves (Canis lupus). Our findings show that both decision variables contribute to the existing variation in microbiota between different body locations in free-ranging wolves. This research underlines the extended ecological nature of microbiomics and the significance of social organization for the resistance to disease and overall health in animals. Mobile genetic elements are significant for studying wildlife ecology and microbiome. They offer a perspective on the context in which environment, the social environment especially, and animal and microbial genetics influence microbiota in wildlife populations. The results reported in the study could be used to develop conservation measures that encourage the proper growth of wildlife. This paper builds on the work of DeCandia et al. to expand knowledge on how microbiomes may be dynamic in wildlife, especially those with structured societies like grey wolves. It creates new premises for understanding the effects of microbiomes on health and disease resistance in wild populations.
