Firstly, there is high genetic homology between the human and dog genome, compared to other animals.
c-Myc has Altered Expression in Canine and Feline Tumors
Ostrander, PhD, researchers at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), review progress in defining the genes and pathways that determine canine skull shape and development that have been made in the eight years since the dog genome was mapped.
