Morphology
In this edition of Genome Barks we bring you an interview with Dr. Heidi Parker, a staff scientist at the National Human Genome Research Institute. Dr. Parker’s research has included the relatedness of the many different breeds of dogs to one another and investigation of the genetic causes of diseases such as malignant histiocytosis in the Bernese Mountain Dog and traits such as athletic performance in Whippets. In this podcast, Dr. Parker defines morphology; discusses the similarities between the canine and human genomes related to morphology; and provides examples of how morphological changes can affect dogs such as improper coat in the Portuguese Water Dog.

The Future of Cancer Research
In this edition of Genome Barks we hear from Dr. Bruce Smith of the Auburn University Research Initiative in Cancer (AURIC). The Auburn College of Veterinary Medicine recently received a $1 million appropriation from the state of Alabama for cancer research. Specifically, Dr. Smith discusses the focus of the "One Medicine" approach which links human, animal, and environmental health, and where discoveries in one species advance the health in all species.
