Kutta is an indigenous sheep breed found in the mountainous region of Swat, Pakistan. In this study we evaluated the performance of Kutta sheep within their natural habitat and identified genomic regions associated with environmental adaptability using whole genome sequencing. Flocks are mostly managed under a transhumant production system with year-round breeding. Kutta sheep demonstrated higher lambing efficiency under the a...

Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) is caused by biallelic Ataxia-Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) protein mutations and is hallmarked by neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency and cancer susceptibility. Emerging work suggests that non-coding RNAs are integral to the ATM driven DNA damage response, yet the scope of non-coding RNA perturbation in A-T has not systematically mapped. This study is done to chart and synthesize all primary evidenc...
