Texas A&M Gastrointestinal Laboratory Discovery May Help Prevent GI Disease In Dogs
Researchers at the Texas A&M Gastrointestinal Laboratory (GI Lab) have discovered signs that can be used to identify dogs with a high risk of gastrointestinal disease — which causes more than 10% of all new visits to a veterinarian — before they develop symptoms. That team will now use this discovery — published in the […]
Texas A&M Study: After 120 Years Of Conservation Efforts, Yellowstone Bison Are A Single Breeding Population
Once consisting of two unique herds, researchers believe the Yellowstone bison herds should now be managed as one interbreeding population.

Texas A&M Researcher Compares AI, Human Evaluators In Swine Medicine
A Texas A&M Veterinary Education, Research, & Outreach (VERO) program-led research team is studying whether artificial intelligence (AI) could play a supportive role in the evaluation of respiratory disease in pigs. In their recently published study, the team, led by Dr. Robert Valeris-Chacin, an assistant professor at VERO in the Texas A&M College of Veterinary […]
Parental Alcohol Abuse Predisposes Children To Cancer, Texas A&M Researchers Find
New research from the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) has discovered that parents who chronically abuse alcohol can pass along adverse effects that increase their children’s susceptibility to cancer — especially in the liver. Researchers working in the lab of Dr. Michael Golding have previously demonstrated that paternal drinking habits […]
Texas A&M Researcher Charts A New Direction In Biology, Quantum Computing
Texas A&M researchers are using new computing technology to predict gene expression, which may be the key to targeted solutions for health issues like cancer and genetic diseases. When most people think of relationships in biology, they probably think of big-picture, macro-level relationships such as the food chain or symbiotic species that we can observe […]
