Hay! First Analysis of Horse Genome
An international research team, supported in part by NHGRI, has found that the genome of the domestic horse, Equus caballus, has a structure remarkably similar to our own genome. Published in the Nov. 6 issue of Science, the team's landmark analysis also sheds new light on the centr...omere evolution. -Centromeres, which are the structures that separate the long and short arms of chromosomes, help to ensure that cells inherit copies of each chromosome during cellular division.-

In the most comprehensive study of animal evolution ever attempted, an international consortium of scientists plans to assemble a genomic zoo--a collection of DNA sequences for 10,000 vertebrate species, approximately one for every vertebrate genus.
National DNA Day This genome is not only tasty and healthy, but valuable for insights into others from the cucurbit family, such as pumpkins and watermelons. Who knew? And since we've been food obsessed with recent posts, this just made sense to share. Enjoy!
