UHPLC LCMS lipidomics of dog plasma can differentiate breeds!
UHPLC LCMS lipidomics of dog plasma can differentiate breeds! I admit it. I used this awesome new paper in Springer Metabolomics to justify Google Image searching for pictures of 9 different dog breeds in funny hats and used my favorites to illustrate a figure from the paper. You caught me. However, I also think that this is a really interesting study with results I would not have guessed possible. First off, Im no lipidomics expert. I did spend a couple days at Pitts center for Environmental and Occupational Health which is one of the premier lipidomics centers in the world. What I got out of that visit, however, was mostly that lipidomics is really really hard and Im glad they were doing it and not me. The conclusion of the study Im talking about now is in the title of the post and the paper. I would never have imagined that during our occasionally demented differentiation of wild dogs into this diverse set of physical features that we would also alter their plasma lipidomes, but it ...
