*** TO HONOR OUR GREAT DANES ***

We have all lost a valued and loving Great Dane friend. An "In Memory" section has been added to our Veteran's Photo Gallery to honor those Great Danes who have passed away.

Please feel free to submit a photo, include the Great Dane’s name and owner/s name, a short commentary, and if you wish, your email address, so friends may contact you. You must be a member of the GDCA or one of the Affiliate Clubs to participate.

 

NEWS FLASH:

Dr. Keith E. Murphy at Texas A & M University reported to the GDCACT this week that since last reporting he has identified a marker on Chromosome 9, suggestive that one of the genes ASPA5 is a striking candidate for the Harlequin gene.

Dr. Murphy will be providing a "Lay Summary" which we will publish on the GDCA Web Site upon receipt. Additionally, we will include it in the next published Bulletin. Dr. Murphy's Manuscript has been accepted for publication in the Journal "Gene" under the title:

"Genome-wide linkage scan localizes the harlequin locus in the Great Dane to Chromosome 9". Leigh Anne Clark, Alison N. Starr, Kate L. Tsai, Keith E. Murphy
