This study aimed to estimate genetic parameters for race time in seconds and final ranking, as well as to analyze the genetic trends associated with race time. The study utilized a dataset consisting of 23,290 records of race times and final ranks at distances of 1,000, 1,600, and 2,000 m from 6,213 Thoroughbred horses from the São Paulo Jockey Club. Our model considered the year of the run, animal sex, race class, track conditions, the linear effect of horse weight and age, and the quadratic effect of age as fixed covariates.

- White striping (WS) is a myopathy found in broiler chickens, marked by white stripes in muscle tissue and linked to economic losses, with its causes still unclear.
- A study identified 30 differentially expressed genes in the breast muscle of affected chickens, highlighting 14 new candidates connected to muscle development, lipid metabolism, and collagen.
- The findings suggest that while some genes might play a role in the early development of WS, the expression of others may change as the condition progresses.
