Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies
Browse by
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.

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 ... -

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 ... -
An ADAMTS3 Missense Variant is Associated with Norwich Terrier Upper Airway Syndrome - Supporting Data
This dataset comprises of Variant Call Format (VCF) files associated with the BAM files in this publication. The full BAM files will be submitted to European Nucleotide Archive. -
Assemblies of the gyr falcon
Whole genome assemblies are crucial for understanding a wide range of aspects of falcon biology including morphology, ecology and physiology and thus essential for their care and conservation. A key aspect of the genome ... -
Comprehensive transcriptional profiling of the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants from birth to adulthood
One of the most significant physiological challenges to neonatal and juvenile ruminants is the development and establishment of the rumen. Using a subset of RNA-Seq data from our high-resolution atlas of gene expression ... -
Synaptic and non synaptic proteome in ageing murine cortical isolates
Label free proteomic analysis of "synaptic" and "non-synaptic" mitochondrial subpopulations isolated from murine cortex throughout the process of "normal healthy" ageing. These are sub populations of mitochondria as ... -
Details of Staphylococcus spp. isolates used in a Staphylococcus aureus Host-Adaptation Study
A large-scale population genomic approach was used to provide a global perspective of the host-switching events that have defined the evolution of Staphylococcus aureus in the context of its host-species. To investigate ... -

Assembly of 913 microbial genomes from metagenomic sequencing of the cow rumen
This dataset represents 913 draft bacterial and archaeal genomes assembled from over 800 gigabases of rumen metagenomic sequence data derived from 43 Scottish cattle, using both metagenomic binning and Hi-C-based ... -
A corpus of names drawn from the local birth registers of England and Wales, 1838-2014
This dataset comprises a corpus of names, in both the first and middle position, for approximately 22 million individuals born in England and Wales between 1838 and 2014. This data is obtained from birth records made ... -
Sex, diet density and feeding centre gene expression
# Abstract # ## Background ## Research into energy balance and growth has infrequently considered genetic sex, yet there is sexual dimorphism for growth across the animal kingdom. We test the hypothesis that sexual ... -
Unique placeholder IDs for each gene, transcript and exon model in the "UMD CASPUR WD 2.0" annotation of the water buffalo (Bubalis bubalis) genome assembly
The "UMD CASPUR WD 2.0" annotation of the water buffalo (Bubalis bubalis) genome assembly, as published by Williams, et al. (PMCID: PMC5737279), does not yet have a standardised set of placeholder IDs for each gene, ... -
Assembly and validation of conserved long non-coding RNAs in the ruminant transcriptome
mRNA-like long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a significant component of mammalian transcriptomes, although most are expressed only at low levels, with high tissue-specificity and/or at specific developmental stages. This ...
