25. The Morphology of Dogs | A Conversation with Dr. Elaine Ostrander, Chief and Investigator of the Cancer Genetics and Comparative Genomics Branch at the National Institutes of Health
Podcast:Kindred Published On: Tue Dec 20 2022 Description: In this week's conversation, we speak with Dr. Elaine Ostrander about all things dogs and why they look like they do. In layman's terms, Dr. Ostrander explains how dogs don't often look like their closest genetic relatives, the wolf. She answers the long standing question and for us the mystery, of how Freddy the Great Dane doesn't look like Franky the Dachshund. We might even have those fancy Victorians to thank for it. Elaine A. Ostrander, Ph.D. Natural Human Genome Research Institute Kindred is hosted by Kate Coffin and Jenn Asplundh. Please find out more info and message us at kindredpodcast.co.
