Investigating Circannual Entrainment in Dogs using model organisms

Summary

The proposed project will employ gene editing in a C. elegans model and state of the art biotechnologies to investigate pathways leading to circannual entrainment in higher mammals. We will employ RNA-seq and metabolomics to identify the downstream effects of genetic alterations that have been observed as associated with seasonal breeding in natural dog populations. We expect that the knowledge gained may have impacts in the management of feral and domestic species.
