Article Synopsis
  • The Halari donkey breed, an indigenous Indian species, is facing a rapid decline in population.
  • Their milk is similar to human milk, offering benefits like probiotic diversity and lower allergenic properties, particularly useful for infants allergic to cow or buffalo milk.
  • This study successfully isolated DNA from the milk somatic cells of Halari donkeys and confirmed the presence of the k-casein gene, demonstrating the potential for non-invasive DNA extraction in further molecular research.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study analyzed the genetic diversity of seven Indian horse breeds using whole-genome sequencing, leading to the detection of 620,721 SNPs and identifying patterns of runs of homozygosity (ROH), finding the Zanskari breed had the highest number of ROHs.
  • * An Equine SNP marker database (EqSNPDb) was created to organize and provide easy access to information on ROHs and associated SNPs, highlighting significant traits like Wither's height across the different horse breeds.

 The aim of the study is to determine improvements in perinatal mortality at the end of the first 2 years from the initiation of the Samrakshan program of the Indian Radiological and Imaging Association.  Samrakshan is a screening program of pregnant women that uses trimester-specific risk assessment protocols including maternal demographics, mean arterial pressure, and fetal Doppler studies to classify women as high risk or low risk for preterm preeclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR). Low dose aspirin 150 mg daily once at bedtime was started for pregnant women identified as high risk in the 11-13 weeks screening.
