Felis catus (domestic cat) domestic cat Lineage: Eukaryota[15557]; Metazoa[7782]; Chordata[3579]; Craniata[3544]; Vertebrata[3544]; Euteleostomi[3500]; Mammalia[873]; Eutheria[699]; Laurasiatheria[340]; Carnivora[89]; Feliformia[31]; Felidae[22]; Felinae[14]; Felis[3]; Felis catus[1]

Felis catus, the domestic cat, provides several valuable models for infectious disease, including a model for human AIDS. With a large number of recognized breeds, the cat is also a valuable resource for studying phenotypic diversity and evolution. The cat genome will further facilitate research in human medicine as some rare diseases that occur More...in humans also occur in this popular pet.The Felis catus diploid genome is organized in 18 pairs of autosomes and two sex chromosomes.
