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.

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). -
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 ... -
An eQTL in the cystathionine beta synthase gene is linked to osteoporosis in laying hens
"An eQTL in the cystathionine beta synthase gene is linked to osteoporosis in laying hens" Dirk-Jan De Koning, Nazaret Dominguez-Gasca, Robert H. Fleming, Andrew Gill, Dominic Kurian, Andrew Law, Heather A. McCormack, ... -
Variant discovery from whole genome sequence data from a commercial broiler line and a CSFIR- mApple reporter transgenic layer line
The data comprises variants calls from whole genome sequencing (WGS) data from a set of founder broilers (n=10) and transgenic layers (n=10). The broiler samples belong to commercial Ross 308 founder population and were ... -
Unnormalised raw count estimates for the sheep gene expression atlas dataset
This dataset contains the estimated unnormalised raw counts generated using Kallisto for all RNA-Seq libraries included in the sheep gene expression atlas. ## Format ## The plain text file contains 1,954 rows of ... -
Cow genotypes before quality control in PLINK format. Dataset pertains to manuscript "Quantitative trait loci mapping for lameness associated phenotypes in Holstein Friesian dairy cattle"
Cow genotypes in PLINK format before quality control used for a GWAS study of lameness associated phenotypes in Holstein Friesian dairy cattle. Genotypes were merged from Affymetrix and Illumina SNP chips. -
Data for "Transmission from vaccinated hosts can cause dose-dependent reduction in pathogen 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 ... -
A mini-atlas of gene expression for the domestic goat
The goat mini-atlas dataset includes 54 mRNA-Seq (poly-A selected) 75bp paired-end libraries from 20 tissues and 2 cell types from neonatal crossbred dairy goats. Gene level expression estimates, for the goat mini-atlas, ... -
Chicken cecal metagenome assembled genomes
We sequenced DNA from cecal contents samples taken from 24 chickens belonging to either a fast or slower growing breed consuming either a vegetable-only diet or a diet containing fish meal. We utilised 1.6T of Illumina ... -
De novo gene and transcript models created for a gene expression atlas of the domestic water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
The domestic water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) makes a major contribution to the global agricultural economy in the form of milk, meat, hides and draught power. The global water buffalo population is predominantly found in ... -
Dogslife height and weight data - the first 7 years of the cohort
Dogslife is a longitudinal, online study of the health of pedigree UK Kennel Club registered Labrador Retrievers in the UK. Recruitment to Dogslife began in 2010 and continues into 2019. After registration, owners are ... -
Geometric Morphometrics in Canine Archaeozoology: Hallmarks of Present-Day Sight Hounds in the Bones of an Ancient Roman Dog
Supporting data and archaeological reports described by Schoenebeck et al. 2019. Anatomical Record (in submission). Skeletal data related to the comparative morphological analysis of an ancient Roman dog found in Warmington, ... -

Characterisation of the UK honey bee metagenome
The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) plays a major role in pollination and food production, but is under threat from emerging pathogens and agro-environmental insults. As with other organisms, honey bee health is a ... -
Open prediction of polysaccharide utilisation loci (PUL) in 5414 public Bacteroidetes genomes using PULpy
Polysaccharide utilisation loci (PUL) are regions within the genomes of Bacteroidetes that encode all the necessary machinery for the cleavage of particular carbohydrates. Prediction of PUL from genomic data alone involves ... -
Proteomic profiling of primate synapses during normal healthy ageing
Normal mammalian brain ageing is characterised by the selective loss of discrete populations of dendritic spines and synapses, particularly affecting neuroanatomical regions such as the hippocampus. Although previous ... -
Border Collie array data for 58 dogs from Illumina 170k CanineHD BeadChip
Goniodysgenesis is a developmental abnormality of the anterior chamber of the eye. It is generally considered to be congenital in dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), and has been associated with glaucoma and blindness. ... -
Investigating early cellular and molecular responses to misfolded protein
PMDs such as AD, PD, HD and TSE are associated with the accumulation of abnormally folded proteins. However, the mechanisms involving seeding, processing and degradation of these rogue proteins are poorly understood. In ... -
