Lyons has also conducted DNA studies for the first cloned domestic cat, <a href="/wiki/Wildcat" title="Wildcat">wildcat</a>, <a href="/wiki/Sand_cat" title="Sand cat">sand cat</a>, and the GFP transgenic cat. Her laboratory has discovered nearly 50 <a href="/wiki/Mutation" title="Mutation">mutations</a> across more than 20 genes, which are linked to various diseases, coat colors, fur types, and cat AB/B blood types. Through her investigations of phenotypic traits, she has enabled cat <a href="/wiki/Breeder" title="Breeder">breeders</a> to enhance the efficiency of their breeding programs, ultimately benefiting feline welfare. Her studies in cat population genetics have clarified the genetic relationships among breeds and distinguished random-bred cat populations, reinforcing the idea that the <a href="/wiki/Near_East" title="Near East">Near East</a> was the primary site of <a href="/wiki/Domestication_of_the_cat" title="Domestication of the cat">cat domestication</a>.

Lyons and her team investigated and identified the genetic cause. The first case came from the <a href="/wiki/Kansas_City_Zoo_%26_Aquarium" title="Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium">Kansas City Zoo</a>, and subsequently, other zoos across the country submitted samples for screening, preventing the birth of additional blind offspring.<sup id="cite_ref-:33_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:33-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> She has developed many genomic resources for felines, such as DNA panels for cat identification and parentage verification, a 63K DNA array, a new high-density array, exome capture arrays, and updated cat genome assemblies. The gene mapping resources derived from Geoffroy's cat and Asian leopard cats have now facilitated the creation of haploid-based phased genome assemblies for all three species, including a new reference assembly for the domestic cat. Lyons maintains significant collaborations with commercial animal genetic testing laboratories, as many of her tests are provided to the cat breeding community. Through the use of cat genetic testing, several genetic diseases in felines have been nearly eradicated, including polycystic kidney disease and blindness in Persian cats, <a href="/wiki/Hypokalemia" title="Hypokalemia">hypokalemia</a> in <a href="/wiki/Burmese_cat" title="Burmese cat">Burmese cats</a>, <a href="/wiki/Spasticity" title="Spasticity">spasticity</a> in <a href="/wiki/Devon_Rex" title="Devon Rex">Devon Rex</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sphynx_cat" title="Sphynx cat">Sphynx</a> breeds, and blindness in <a href="/wiki/Bengal_cat" title="Bengal cat">Bengal cats</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><span data-darkreader-inline-color="" data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="">In 2004, Lyons and her team discovered that the genetic mutations causing <a href="/wiki/Polycystic_kidney_disease" title="Polycystic kidney disease">polycystic kidney disease</a> occur in the same gene in both humans and cats.

Previous tests for this condition involved <a href="/wiki/Medical_ultrasound" title="Medical ultrasound">ultrasound scanning</a> and were not very accurate, unlike the DNA test devised by Lyons. Approximately one third of all <a href="/wiki/Persian_cat" title="Persian cat">Persian cats</a> carried the PKD gene at one time, but because of ultrasound testing and the newer, more accurate DNA tests, these PKD-carrier cats are gradually being identified and removed from the <a href="/wiki/Felidae" title="Felidae">feline</a> <a href="/wiki/Gene_pool" title="Gene pool">gene pool</a> by <a href="/wiki/Neutering" title="Neutering">spaying and neutering</a>. A <a href="/wiki/Genetic_testing" title="Genetic testing">DNA test</a> for feline coat color carriers and feline parentage has also been developed by Lyons, and is being offered to cat breeders, like the PKD test, so that they can determine whether cats they have bred have correct <a href="/wiki/Pedigree_chart" title="Pedigree chart">pedigrees</a>, and whether these cats carry <a href="/wiki/Point_coloration" class="mw-redirect" title="Point coloration">colorpoints</a>, Burmese Colour Restriction, long hair, colour dilution or rare coat colors, such as chocolate and cinnamon.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

She argues that the feline genome is more similar to the human genome than those of dogs or mice, making cats valuable for studying genetic "dark matter" and diseases. She highlights that the cat genome is organized and conserved, akin to the human genome, which could aid in understanding complex genetic functions. Lyons also emphasizes the potential of cats in <a href="/wiki/Personalized_medicine" title="Personalized medicine">precision medicine</a>, particularly for genetic diseases like <a href="/wiki/Polycystic_kidney_disease" title="Polycystic kidney disease">polycystic kidney disease</a>, suggesting that advances in treating such conditions in cats could be applicable to humans.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> She also underscores the importance of cat genomics in understanding the genetic basis of traits and diseases in both domestic and wild cat species, which can have broader implications for human health.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Although much of Lyons' research has dealt with cats, she also works on resources for <a href="/wiki/Gene_mapping" title="Gene mapping">gene mapping</a> of other companion animals, such as dogs and horses, and has worked on the genetics of the <a href="/wiki/Rhesus_macaque" title="Rhesus macaque">rhesus macaque</a> at the <a href="/wiki/California_National_Primate_Research_Center" title="California National Primate Research Center">California National Primate Research Center</a>. </p><p>In 2010, Lyons received the <a href="/wiki/American_Veterinary_Medical_Association" title="American Veterinary Medical Association">American Veterinary Medical Association</a>/Winn Feline Foundation Research Award for her contributions to feline research.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Lyons holds 3 patents and has over 195 peer-reviewed publications.
