A research team led by scientists from the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) has developed the most comprehensive genome yet for the North American bison, bringing the animal’s genetic roadmap up to date with the latest genome sequencing technology. In doing so, the research team also discovered the gene responsible for albinism in bison.
Many North American Indigenous peoples regard white bison as sacred entities with prophetic spiritual associations. While not all white bison have albinism, the birth of one is cause for celebration in some communities.

From there it was down the rabbit hole. A Mongolian band channeling heavy metal?
Then it was a spoon virtuoso. I am not sure what she is doing but it looks like there is some talent there.
…and she has a youtube channel!
