A novel fishing cat reference genome for the evaluation of potential germline risk variants

This paper presents a fishing cat reference genome to evaluate germline risk variants for transitional cell carcinoma, identifying BRCA2 mutations associated with the disease.

De novo mutations in domestic cat are consistent with an effect of reproductive longevity on both the rate and spectrum of mutations

This study estimates the mutation rate in domestic cats and finds a paternal age effect, suggesting reproductive longevity influences mutation rate and spectrum across species.
