Cats	2004-12-14		.txt	text/plain	1212	59	44	Wild cats dominate their habitat but require vast expanses to survive, which explains the tragic depredation such that every species of Felidae, except the domestic cat, is considered either endangered or threatened in the wild today by CITES, IUCN Red Book and other monitors of the world's most endangered species. Domestic cats and dogs enjoy more medical scrutiny than any species except humans. The cat offers the promise of a second carnivore species (in addition to the dog, which shares a common ancestor with cats dating back to approximately 60 million years ago) to improve human genome annotation, as well as to complement the biomedical and genomic discoveries that make the feline genome attractive. The conserved genome of the cat is retained in the other 36 Felidae species, as well as most of the 246 species of the Carnivora order, the only reshuffled exceptions occuring in the dog and bear families.	./cache/cord-007923-j3jpqd7k.txt	./txt/cord-007923-j3jpqd7k.txt
