The United States genome to decode

University generates a domesticated pigs, could result in agriculture, medicine, protection and development of the achievements of the views of the genome of the first draft of a team of scientists said on Monday in a newsletter.
The researchers said, at the University of farm red-haired Duroc will now be in a growing number of livestock, have their genome sequencing. A genomic DNA the full complement of an organism.
Researchers at the Institute Wellcome Trust Sanger Hinxton, the British declared achievements at the meeting on Monday.
"Pigs is a unique animal, is very important for food and is used to model human diseases, said Professor of biomedical science and sequencing of the leadership of the programme at the University of Larry books.
He said, "the local wildlife is still existing in a real exciting animal domestication, learn about the impact of the genome.
In Duroc is all over the world pork production that is used in one of the five major varieties, but rather of about 200 varieties of domesticated pigs.
Is the complete cases, about 98% of the draft order can be aggregated for pork production or participate in immunity or other important physiological process, genetic studies of pigs.
It will enhance the breeding practices, provide afflict the pigs ' disease. The researchers say, is also an important study of human health, is very similar to human physiology, behavior, and nutritional needs.
Book said, this is just the beginning of the end of the process. "Now we can only begin to answer a question many of the pigs.
