Our Equine Melanoma Vaccines are on a temporary hiatus. We are in the process of training a new laboratory technician, and are hopeful to resume shortly. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Genetic Epidemiology of Cancer in Golden Retrievers
VOSRC has collected pedigrees on more than 500 golden retrievers with cancer since the 1980s, resulting in a family of more than 4,000 dogs. Recently, this work allowed VOSRC to report on the inheritability of lymphoma and soft tissue sarcomas in the breed (Theilan Symposium, 2009). This is an ongoing project with blood samples being collected for collaboration with geneticists at North Carolina State University (M. Breen) and The Broad Institute (K. Lindblad-Toh). We continue to map the affected dogs for risk factors to be evaluated and for potential breeding planning.
