Improving gait classification in horses by using inertial measurement unit (IMU) generated data and machine learning
The research demonstrates that machine learning models, trained on data from IMU sensors, can classify horse gaits with up to 97% accuracy. This approach offers a more objective and automated alternative to traditional visual gait assessment, facilitating deeper biomechanical analysis and potential applications in genetic research and breeding.

Genomic analysis of the domestication and post-Spanish conquest evolution of the llama and alpaca
This study confirms that llamas descend from guanacos and alpacas from vicuñas, revealing surprisingly high levels of admixture between the two species (over 30% in alpacas) dating back to around the time of the Spanish conquest. This mixing likely resulted from disrupted traditional breeding practices, potentially leading to both negative impacts (genetic erosion) and positive adaptations (coat color, high-altitude tolerance).
