RESEARCH LABORATORY OF DR. LESLIE A. LYONS
(THE LYONS’ DEN)

To provide target funding support and donations for feline genetics, please
contact Dr. Lyons, or donate online now.  To participate in cat research, please
see the list of active research projects or follow this “How to
Participate” link.

The Feline Genetics and Comparative Medicine Laboratory of Professor Leslie
Lyons is located in the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. 
Research focuses on the genetics of the domestic cat and the development of
genetic tools and resources that assist gene mapping in the cat and other
companion animals.  Feline research is focused on the discovery of mutations
that cause inherited diseases and phenotypic traits and in the population
dynamics of breed development and domestic cat evolution.

The laboratory actively seeks competitive and non-competitive funding from a
variety of governmental and non-governmental agencies, foundations, groups and
donors to support genetic studies in feline health and non-health related areas.
The EveryCat Health Foundation and private donors have been strong and
consistent supporters for various cat research projects.  Royal Canin cat food
proudly feeds our colony of cats with genetic traits. Dr. Lyons’ Gilbreath
McLorn endowment in the College of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Veterinary
Medicine and Surgery at the University of Missouri, provides internal
competitive funding and matching funding for external awards. Dr. Lyons
Laboratory has strong collaborations with the UC-Davis Veterinary Genetics
Laboratory, Hill’s Pet Food, Inc., Langford Vets, in the United Kingdom, Orivet
in Australia and many other groups that assist with research projects and
funding that will lead to genetic tests as a commercial service for the cats of
owners and breeders. Strong interactions with cat breeders and owners are highly
desired and encouraged to help support studies by providing DNA samples from
cats, pedigree information and background knowledge of interesting traits and
health issues. Important relationships are fostered with all cat registries and
associations, such as the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA), The International Cat
Association (TICA), the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF), the
Federation Internationale Felines (FiFe), the World Cat Congress (WCC), the
World Cat Federation (WCF) and other cat fancier organizations and registries
worldwide.
