This article talked about how scientists seequensed the domestic cat genome. They used a cat called cinnamon as the template in their study. They found out that Cinnamon contained 65% of regions in the feline genome. In sequencing the genome of the cat they can use it for health benifits for cats. They also found some diseases they can help in the genome.

They also found many diseases that link to humans as well. They found HIV/AIDS and retinitus in the genome and now better understand those diseases and mutations. They can now really help all life with this study and find out more about other animals. The scientists also think that many more help can come for diesease because they are still looking into the genome. They may even find out more about cancer.
