What is the gene that changed the wild cock into a domestic cat?

ByThatguyhans

Cats are one of the most familiar pets in the world, and have existed along with dogs and have been blended into human society for a long time. Originally a wild cattle living with hunting became domesticated and became a domestic cat, but the gene which changed the daughter cat to a domestic cat which was destroyed by the ferocious wild and became easy for human beings to be discriminated.

There are no big differences in the size and appearance of the house dog and cat pet, but the wild cat is wild, so it is characterized by its ferocity. On the other hand, because it is easily adapted to humans and adapts to the breeding environment, it is a domestic affair that is familiar to humans all over the world as a pet lined with dogs. A direct ancestor nearest to a domestic cat is "Near EastOrigin of Libyan dragonfly ", the origin of the cat was about 10,000 years agoIt is thought that it was 5300 years ago.

Although genes that changed from wild cats to domestic cats have not been identified so far,Presented at PNASAccording to the results of investigating the exact point where the gene was switched from the eucated cat to the domestic cat, by identifying the sequence sequence of the cat's genome, how the cat got used to other animals including humans I understood that it was. Gregor Larsson, an evolutionary biologist who studies the domestication of animals such as pigs and dogs at Oxford University, said "This finding is the most definitive proof that I have ever had."

The research team believes that cats began contacting human society for the first time as a group that started agriculture in the Middle East 9500 years ago. Originally living in the desert cormorants were drawn to human villages aiming at rodents gathered in grain warehouses, and they came to be bred by humans. Over the thousands of years thereafter, the size of the dogwood cat's body shrank, losing its ferocious nature and becoming a domestic cat, but little about the course of the gene change.

Dr. Michael Montagu of Washington University Medical Graduate School, who led the research, published some accurate evidence about the change in this gene,AbyssinianBy revealing an undecided sequence of the genome ofSuccessful identification of genesdoing. Furthermore, the latest research revealed 281 genes showing changes to domestic cats, such as genes related to fat metabolism, which greatly alters the eating habits of carnivorous cattle beasts.

In addition, as a result of comparison between the genomes of 22 species of domestic cats with the Near East Libyan Yamaneko and the European Yamaneko, the research team has also found 13 genes that have the effect of bringing about a friendly change to humans from the wild nature. These genes are thought to have alertness at the time of feeding and changes in cognition for residential areas, Mr. Montague said "It matches domesticated cats we know" I am talking. However, according to William Murphy, co-author of the study, "About cats are more wild than dogs", "Cats are not kept for hunting and other purposes like dogs". In other words, there are indications that cats familiar to humans in their lifestyle, such as that cats have not stayed home long ago, are domesticated under the condition of "semi-breeding".

However, Mr. Larson who engaged in research on this point said, "I have two cats at home, but they sit on the sofa by pushing dogs and humans that are supposed to be a threat in the natural world," It explains that it takes actions not seen at the moment and states that the indication that the domestication of cats is "semi-breeding" is not the case.
