About this episode
We're joined by Dr. Adam Boyko, an associate professor in Biomedical Sciences at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine and the co-founder of Embark. In this episode, we discuss one of Dr. Boyko's recent studies with Embark where he looks at a genetic mutation relating to hearing loss in Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
Previous research had established a link between Rhodesian Ridgebacks and early onset adult deafness. Dr. Boyko and his team at Embark dug into the genetics and discovered a genetic mutation (specifically a deletion) that may be responsible for this condition in the breed.
Listen to the episode to learn why Corgis, German Shepherds, and Labrador Retrievers where included in this Rhodesian Ridgeback-focused study!
