Cat Genome Project

The Cat Genome Project is a scientific effort to map and understand the complete set of genetic information, or genome, of domestic cats. By studying their DNA, researchers can identify genes linked to physical traits, health conditions, and behaviors. This knowledge helps improve cat healthcare, trace pedigree and ancestry, and understand feline biology. Similar to how the human genome project has advanced medicine, the Cat Genome Project provides valuable insights that benefit both cats and their owners through better disease prevention and breed management.
