متن کاملGenetic mapping in mammals: chromosome map of domestic cat.
A genetic map of 31 biochemical loci located on 17 feline syntenic (linkage) groups has been derived by somatic cell genetic analysis of cat-rodent hybrids. Most of these syntenic groups have been assigned to one of the 19 feline chromosomes. Comparative linkage analysis of the feline biochemical loci and homologous human loci revealed considerable conservation of linkage associations between t...

متن کاملEvolution of a Major Drug Metabolizing Enzyme Defect in the Domestic Cat and Other Felidae: Phylogenetic Timing and the Role of Hypercarnivory
The domestic cat (Felis catus) shows remarkable sensitivity to the adverse effects of phenolic drugs, including acetaminophen and aspirin, as well as structurally-related toxicants found in the diet and environment. This idiosyncrasy results from pseudogenization of the gene encoding UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A6, the major species-conserved phenol detoxification enzyme. Here, we establ...

What makes a cat? ‘Cat’ is one of the first one hundred words children learn. Cats are familiar as pets, numbering some 60 million in the US, and five times that many in the world. Cat domestication is young compared to dogs and barnyard animals, less than 6000 years old. Descended from the African wildcat Felis sylvestris, house cats are first a companion animal, but they were initially bred a...
