    Aby genome decoded!

    An Abyssinian cat named Cinnamon has had her genes sequenced, first time in the cat. http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science....ap/index.htmlI wonder if they have some monkey genes?

    The article in today's Providence Journal is longer, but basically the same. Says this is the second cat, the first Aby. Really interesting stuff going on with the genome project!

    Ok, now we need monkey genes and human acrobat genes- I am sure they will be the same

    G-nome?


    My name is Cinnamon, I’m a rapping cat-
    I go by G-nome when I do my act.
    Some C Some G Some A some T
    That’s what my double helix be!

    An Aby cat with no secrets now!
    I got the scientist to just say, “WOW!”
    “We’ve looked into what makes a cat-
    Fur, fangs and claws? It’s more than that!”

    DNA, RNA, genetic bits??
    There’s more to them, our favorite kits!
    When you stare into our little face-
    Remember G-nome, she solved the case!

    A feline question , put to rest.
    It don’t explain the cat box mess-
    So care for your kitties in your home.
    And remember Cinnamon, known as G-nome!
