Podcast: Osteosarcoma Research Update
In this podcast we hear from Dr. Kerstin Lindblad-Toh and Dr. Elinor
Karsson, two of our most prominent oncology genetics researchers. Dr.
Lindblad-Toh is a professor in comparative genomics at Uppsala University
and the Scientific Director of Vertebrate Genome Biology at the Broad
Institute. Dr. Karlsson is a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University and
was recently awarded the Charles A. King Trust Postdoctoral Fellowship.
In this podcast we learn about the research that is refining the genes and
gene signatures associated with osteosarcoma and how this may lead to better
treatments. Initial findings have been published in the open access journal
Genome Biology entitled, Genome-wide analyses implicate 33 loci in heritable
dog

??? Why Do Dog's Bury Bones???
This process is called caching or hoarding, and it is common among dogs, wolves and foxes. In fact, other animals practice a form of caching; squirrels gather enough nuts to last through the winter, and camels store enough food and water to last for several days in the desert. Our domesticated dogs may have their food handed to them each day in sufficient quantities, but they still carry this caching trait and bury their bones or toys in the back yard - or even under your pillows - to guard against a possible shortage of food.
So, why do dogs bury bones in the ground? Because it's in their nature.
