The drastic change in global climate has led to in-depth studies of the geneticresources of native cattle adapted to challenging environments. Native cattle breeds may harbor unique genetic mechanisms that have enabled them adapt to their given environmental conditions. Adipose tissues are key factors in the regulation of metabolism and energy balance and are crucial for the molecular switches needed to adapt to rapid environmental and nutritional changes.

It has survived the Holocene thanks to its immense adaptability and successful coexistence with humans in different forms of hunting and herding cultures. Here, we examine the paternal and maternal history of based on robust Y-chromosomal and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) trees representing Eurasian tundra reindeer, Finnish forest reindeer, Svalbard reindeer, Alaska tundra caribou, and woodland caribou.

Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) are very rare and often go undiagnosed unless specific risks or symptoms are present.* -
- An 80-year-old woman experienced swelling and varicosis in her left leg while noticing a cooler right foot, which ultimately led to the discovery of an AVF between her common femoral artery and anterior saphenous vein.* -
- Despite undergoing treatment for varicosis, the patient declined closure of the AVF; over a 4-year follow-up, she showed no significant complications related to it.*
Article Synopsis
- Domestic reindeer are crucial for the culture and economy of indigenous peoples in northern Eurasia, thriving in harsh environments, which highlights the need to understand their genomics for better management and conservation.
- The study presented a new, highly complete genome assembly for Fennoscandian domestic reindeer, allowing for extensive exploration of genetic diversity and population structure across various reindeer populations in Eurasia.
- Results revealed four main genetic clusters among reindeer populations, indicating two separate domestication processes and showing genetic distinctions, especially with the Finnish forest reindeer identified as a unique subspecies.
