These early studies “highlighted both the potential that we could learn from dogs, but also that we would need much larger sample sizes to do that really well,” said Elinor Karlsson, a geneticist at UMass Chan Medical School and the Broad Institute. And so researchers began creating large citizen science projects, searching for DNA samples and data from dogs across the United States.Pet owners have risen to the challenge. The Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, which began recruiting in 2012, has followed more than 3,000 dogs in an attempt to identify genetic and environmental risk factors for cancer, which is particularly common in the breed. Since 2019, the Dog Aging Project, a long-term study of health and longevity, has enrolled nearly 50,000 dogs.The personal project of Dr. Karlsson, Da...

He has been avidly following Spain's progress in the European soccer championship, he said, and a business trip would certainly not stand in his way.He had watched the country's first two matches with his 13-year-old son, at home in Seville. The city, he said, is hit by a strong dose of major tournament fever, a condition that consistently affects all of Europe on a biannual basis. The balconies are decorated with Spanish flags. The streets are full of Spanish shirts. Spain's victories sparked wild celebrations.As far as Mr. Martínez could tell, however...

Many travelers from the United States have lost a crucial tool for checking maps, making reservations, using ride-hailing apps and more due to a cellular data outage that began impacting users of AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon on Wednesday.Affected travelers, especially in Europe, posted on social media, seeking answers about what caused the outage and how long it would last.

The Palestinian National Authority has lurched from crisis to crisis for years, struggling to pay its arrears amid a decline in international aid. Israel has often withheld taxes it collects on behalf of the authority in an effort to penalize its leadership. On other occasions, Israel has sent tens of millions of dollars to keep it afloat.But many have called the current economic situation in the West Bank the most difficult to date.After the Hamas-led attack on October 7, tens of thousands of Palestinians who had worked in Israel were no longer allowed to enter, creating mass unemployment almost overnight. Israeli military raids, road closures and tougher checkpoints have further stifled the Palestinian economy.Before the war, Mahmoud Abu Issa, 53, earned more than $2,000 a month – an ...

An experiment in Kansas and Germany has shed some light on the mystery.Scientists have failed to find evidence that the virus can spread as a respiratory infection. Juergen Richt, a virologist at Kansas State University who helped lead the research, said the findings suggest the virus is primarily infectious via contaminated milking machines.In an interview, Dr. Richt said the findings raised hopes that the epidemic could be stopped before the virus evolved into a form that could spread easily among humans.“I think it's good news that we can most likely control it more easily than people thought,” Dr. Richt said. “Hopefully we can now kick t...
