A question for you pstinard, I've read that they can produce the genetic code for cats, but they can't do this for dogs yet because the code is so rich and diverse. Is this true and am I even phrasing this correctly? It had something to do with cloning a dog vs. cloning a cat. |
The feline genome (DNA) has been sequenced. Here is a link that describes this:
Domestic cat genome sequenced
It looks like the DNA of a boxer has been sequenced too. Here is a link to information:
Dog Genome Project | Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
It looks like the dog genome was sequenced two years before the cat...
