Huskies, of course, have their own special feature in the form of icy blue eyes, and now a team of researchers from dog DNA startup Embark has attempted to isolate the specific genetic quirk that gives them their special peepers. The research, which was published in PLOS Genetics, was conducted using the DNA of over 6,000 dogs a...
