| Pig DNA mapped |
| 2009-11-03 |
| An international team of researchers said Monday it had mapped the DNA of a domestic pig, work they say could help lead to better breeding techniques as well as improve vaccines against diseases such as swine flu. They plan to look for genes useful in pork production and immunity in pigs, which are similar in size to humans. And, like humans, they catch influenza very easily. But, as they said in the Loverboy song, "Pig and Elephant DNA Just won't splice". |
