Biology is designed for multi-semester biology courses for science majors. It is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand. To meet the needs of today’s instructors and students, some content has been strategically condensed while maintaining the overall scope and coverage of traditional texts for this course. Instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand—and apply—key concepts.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Equine genetics reveals otherwise invisible traits linked to your horse’s appearance Several dilution genes—which lighten pigments in skin, eyes and hair—have been identified The SLC45A2 gene affects red and black pigments, creating cream and pearl coats But there are still gaps in the genetic story behind these coat colors Now, researchers have identified two new SLC45A2 variants One originated in medieval times and gives rise to the well-known pearl dilution The other—whose origin is unknown— produces a similar but entirely new dilution dubbed "sun" This research suggests that there’s much more to learn in equine genetics and the results can empower breeders and owners to provide the best care for their horses Holl et al. "A candidate gene approach identifies variants in SLC45A2 that explain dilute phenotypes, pearl and sunshine, in compound heterozygote horses." Anim Genet..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.
