The university says in a news release that knowing the complete list of DNA and genes for domestic pigs could eventually help improve the pigs' health. It also could provide insight into human health, because pigs and humans share similar physiologies.
Two Kansas State University researchers were part of a successful international effort to map the complete genome of the domestic pig.

Maybe the K-State researchers should map Iamgonnagetyou's genome! With new knowledge of his genome, maybe we can help him fix his gland problems!
