The human genome (Homo sapiens) was sequenced as part of the Human Genome Project. It revolutionized our understanding of genetics and human health. 10.1038/35057157 (Feb 15, 2001)
Class: Mammalia
Dog
Canis lupus familiaris, the domestic dog, has been humans’ companion for millennia. Its genome sequencing contributes to understanding canine genetics, behavior, and diseases, benefiting both dogs and humans. 10.1038/nature04338 (Dec 8, 2005)
Cattle
Bos taurus, commonly known as cattle or cows, has been domesticated for thousands of years. Its genome sequencing contributes to improving livestock breeding and understanding of animal genetics. 10.1186/gb-2009-10-4-r42 (Apr 24, 2009)
Cheetah
Acinonyx jubatus, the cheetah, is the fastest terrestrial mammal, capable of reaching speeds up to 105 km/h. Its genome reveals adaptations for sprinting and challenges in genetic diversity. 10.1186/s13059-015-0837-4 (Dec 10, 2015)
