An international collaboration between the UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory and The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies (R(D)SVS; Edinburgh), two leading veterinary schools, allowed for the discovery of the first known genetic cause of a rare eye condition called ectopia lentis in horses.
The UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory recently achieved the ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation by the American National Standards Institute National Accreditation Board, the highest level of accreditation available to testing laboratories. According to their website, ANAB is the largest multi-disciplinary accreditation body in the western hemisphere, with more than 2,500 organizations accredited in approximately 80 countries.
