Central Dogmap I think that one's more in your area, as it were. Welcome to the Dog Genome Project! mendel.berkeley.edu That page seems somewhat out of date, it has an obsolete link to what seems to be the current project site at fhcrc.org . Other efforts on the canine front were noted here in #reply-18263621 , particularly this article from Science, sciencemag.org , which noted: An upcoming project might help resolve some of the continuing debates. In September, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) put dogs high on the list of species whose genomes it will sequence. The sequence could provide new data not just for genetic research but also for evolutionary studies. The project "will certainly give us more information and will bring more attention to dogs," says I.Lehr Brisbin, a wildlife ecologist at the University of Georgia's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory in Aiken, South Carolina. "I am so excited that the dog has been picked." Don't know much about nematodes myself, maybe dogs get them, maybe not. I was amused by this pithy parenthetical interjection, though: We must, alas, assume that the greatest biological enigma of all, consciousness, is absent from C. elegans - although this remains to be demonstrated! cbs.umn.edu
