Dog Genome Mapped, Shows Similarities to Humans
This time, "we have sequenced 99 percent of the genome of a female boxer," said Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, a geneticist at the Broad Institute of Harvard University and MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She is the lead author of the dog-gene study, which appears tomorrow in the journal Nature. The researchers also examined DNA from ten different dog breeds to spot genetic differences between them.
