Xiang Q.L., 2024, Functional and interaction analysis of key genes in the domestic cat genome, Animal Molecular Breeding, 14(1): 19-26 (doi: 10.5376/amb.2024.14.0003)

This study provides a systematic analysis of the functional and interactive aspects of key genes in the domestic cat genome, outlining the overall characteristics of the cat genome, including genome size, structure, and variation, with a focus on key genes related to behavior, immune system, hair and skin development in the cat genome. Through molecular-level functional analysis and physiological and behavioral experiments, this study intricately reveals the significant roles these genes play in the physiological functions and behavioral manifestations of domestic cats. At the same time, the interaction networks of these genes, including protein interaction networks and gene regulation networks, were further analyzed, and the relationships and regulatory mechanisms between key genes were deeply explored. The study looks forward to the prospects of cat genome research, explores the application of gene editing technology in cat genome research, and emphasizes the enlightening significance of this research for improving cat quality of life, solving behavioral problems, and in human medicine.
