    Lyons of the Department of Veterinary Surgery at the University of Missouri said: “The use of cats in research is really neglected because people don’t realize the benefits of cats


    Lyons writes that cats may be an asset that helps researchers better understand our genetic "dark matter"


    Lyons said: "When we find that maybe the genetic spacing between animals is more similar, and the order of genes is the same, maybe this will help us interpret what is happening in humans


    Another reason cats can inspire the human genome is that we have the technology to clone cats and genetically modified cats


    Cats can also play a role in the precise treatment of genetic diseases.


    "So, if you and your cat walk into the veterinary clinic with no trauma and no feeding problems, it may be that the cat has genetic problems
