The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies is a world leader in veterinary education, research, and clinical practice.
Our mission is to benefit society and the environment by educating veterinary surgeons to become members of world-wide public and professional health care teams; and to advance veterinary and comparative medicine through research into disease and disease processes with the goal of improving the health and welfare of both animals and human beings.
We provide outstanding veterinary education at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, using an award winning curriculum, innovative teaching methods, and an interdisciplinary environment, for both our undergraduate and postgraduate students. Along with the Roslin Institute, which is incorporated with the School, our research spans all aspects of veterinary medicine, from molecules and genes through to animal and human populations. We aim to make a real difference through research which is directly relevant to the improvement of health and welfare of domestic animal species and the protection of public health.

A comparison of livestock movement network-methods and implications for disease control in developing countries
The use of network analysis to support livestock disease control in low middle-income countries (LMICs) has historically been hampered by the cost of generating empirical data in the absence of animal movement recording ... -
The Infectious Diseases of East African Livestock (IDEAL) Project Database - Stable Snapshot
The Infectious Diseases of East African Livestock (IDEAL) project was a longitudinal cohort study of calf health which was conducted in Western Kenya between 2007-2009. It collected information on 548 East African shorthorn ... -
CKCS CEL data
The dataset is microrarray data collected from canine RNA samples. The experimental design of this project is to perform comparative analysis (unpaired one-way ANOVA) between normal canine mitral valves, late stage Myxomatous ... -
Comparative profiling of murine CLN1 Thalamus and Cortex at early and late disease timepoints
CLN1 disease or Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is a fatal inherited neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease of early childhood with no currently available therapy. CLN1 disease is caused by mutations in the ... -
Construction of OOEP_IVT, OOEP_CAG, OOEP_VASA and ROSA26_gRNAs plasmids
These pdf files outline the construction of the four CRISPR/Cas9 gene drive DNA plasmid constructs developed during Gus McFarlane's PhD (2016 to 2020). These files provide important supplementary information to his PhD ... -
Data for "Pathogen transmission from vaccinated hosts can cause dose-dependent reduction in virulence"
# Abstract # Many livestock and increasingly human vaccines are leaky, blocking symptoms without preventing infection or onward transmission. Leakiness is concerning as it increases vaccination coverage required to ... -
Water buffalo and cattle XPEHH scores across breeds
This dataset consists of XP-EHH scores calculated using the hapbin software (https://github.com/evotools/hapbin) with default parameters across 79 water buffalo and 294 cattle whole genome sequences. The breeds being ... -
A putative genomic map for resistance of Bos indicus cattle in Cameroon to bovine tuberculosis
Bovine Tuberculosis (bTB) caused by Mycobacterium bovis is a livestock disease of global economic and public health importance. There are currently no effective vaccines available for livestock and so control relies on ... -
Single cell transcriptional profiling of rat embryonic stem cells defined by Rex1-EGFP reporter expression
Rat embryonic stem cells exhibit basal levels of spontaneous differentiation in 2i+LIF (2iL) culture. Expression of a stem cell specific Rex1-EGFP knock-in reporter transgene in rat ESCs was used to isolate functionally ... -
Metagenome assembled rumen-uncultured genomes (RUGs)
DNA was sequenced from rumen contents from cattle, sheep, red deer and reindeer. We constructed 391 metagenome assembled rumen-uncultured genomes (RUGs). -
