Genetic discovery The discovery of a gene linked to equine kissing spines – and their severity – could help prevent the condition, it is thought. Researchers in the US examined X-rays and genotypes of “stock-type” and warmblood horses. They found one variant, or allele, linked to an average increase in one kissing spines severity grade […]
